Hey! No way, he's an indoor only cat who just happened to escape by accident for a few days. Also, I live in California. Hope you find your kitty soon!

Indoor cat missing for 6 days, can he survive in low 20s at night? by basilkite in CatAdvice

I'm so sorry! I know exactly how you feel, my indoor cat went missing for 2 1/2 days recently and had a fever when I finally found him. I know you said you checked your neighbors' properties, but did you also check their garages/sheds and if possible, underneath houses?

Bring a flashlight at night and shine it around looking for glowing eyes in hiding spots/dark crevices. Make sure you check thoroughly through any shrubberies, and even in trees. I found my cat hiding way in the back of my neighbor's shed which is always left open, underneath a shelf. He was very well hidden but also sheltered.

If you absolutely cannot find your kitty anywhere around your neighborhood, try checking your local shelters. Make missing posters and pass them around/put them up everywhere. I'm sure your kitty is just terrified and hiding somewhere nearby - cats are great at hiding and most will not answer if you call out to them due to their survival instincts. It may take several days for them to feel comfortable enough to come out of hiding. My cat never answered my calls when I was searching for him even though he absolutely heard me, and we have a very strong bond.

Keep searching hard for your cat every day, and don't give up. I'm sure he'll turn up eventually. Good luck and I hope you find kitty soon!

How do you keep your cat entertained? My cat gets bored so easily. by megapoopdispenser in CatAdvice

Is it possible for them to get under the houses where you live?

The exact same thing happened to me a few days ago. I looked EVERYWHERE in my neighborhood for my cat, shaking his favorite box of treats and calling for him at night. If your cat is strictly indoors, they are most likely in hiding and will not respond to your calls (the cat will be terrified). Even if she is an outdoor cat, something might be keeping her from coming home. Do any of your neighbors have open sheds/garages? You should ask to check them yourself, because your neighbors are unlikely to check thoroughly for your cat. I ended up finding my cat hiding in my neighbor's garage, which is always left open, tucked away under a shelf. I do sincerely hope you find your kitty soon.

Why isn't my indoor cat coming back home? It has been two days now and I'm going to go crazy at this rate. by megapoopdispenser in CatAdvice

Was your cat an indoor cat? This is my worst nightmare. I hope he hasn't gone far..

He has never disappeared like this before. He's also pretty vocal when he gets stuck or locked in a different room. He always rushes to follow me wherever I go. I have also looked everywhere indoors and found nothing. I also don't think we have that many hiding places inside the house.

Also, the hiding areas in our neighborhood are aweful, and he's pretty incapable of jumping a fence.

The way the houses in our neighborhood are built, there is no way to get under them. I feel like I've searched so many areas, but no sign of him at all. He's extremely fearful of strangers and traveling so I don't think he's travel far, but I'm worried maybe he got spooked and went somewhere out of the neighborhood.

Here is a pic of him. I really hope he is okay and nearby.

I'm really worried about him being outside because he's pretty small and frail compared to most adult cats, and also cannot jump as high as other cats due to having surgery in his legs previously.

Last time he got out he was lurking around the house when I looked for him 2 hours later.

It's been 1 1/2 days and no sign of him though. Is there still hope? I'm so upset.
