What to do about a lost cat?

[Aqua Letifer]

I really thought we weren't gonna find him. None of the food we've been leaving out has been touched, and he absolutely loves food. (And there are foxes, possums, raccoons and all manner of other woodland animals outside. Not that they'd attack him—he's still got his claws and he's a big boy—but if they aren't touching the food, and he's not nearby enough to know it's there...)

And in all fairness to the HVAC guys, it's not like they knew he was an inside cat only, but still. Fuckin' hell what an unfun day and a half.

Hope your cat will feel home again. My fat freaked out by the neighbour who was chopping down a huge tree. He was completely psychotic and never came home again, although he stayed in the neighbourhood. Eventually disappeared without a trace...

We always put ours in a room. Workers are never focused enough on those things.

Daughter is here this week with her cat, so we’ve had some hissing going on.

Glad to hear it all worked out so well.

10-15 years, ours (an outdoor cat) vanished. I'd given up after a week, when she returned, miaowing at me from the bushes. Unharmed but a lot thinner. I was initially alerted to her return by the dog doing these crazy twirls - he'd really missed her too.

Good news, indeed.

[LuFins Dad]

Yay!

[Boris]

Welcome home, brother.

But, for FUCK's sake don't do it again. It's a mean, cruel, and nasty world out there.

Your dad just about had a heart attack.

I relayed the message. His response:

"Soz lol. Pets? Treats? You haz food?"

Freaking Maine coons, man.

@Aqua-Letifer That is great news!!!

[Jon]

Great news man!

[cathys]

So glad to hear the happy ending!

[Jolly]

It's great that he's back!

Take Mik's advice...

So happy to read that the family is all together again. It's so frightening when a loved creature is out on their own.

Hopefully, no more escapes. I'm getting ads for GPS collars that can be put on our creatures - even better than Apple Air Tags. But, it probably would be overkill in your situation with an indoor cat.

Glad to hear the freaking Maine coon is back.
It's awful when pets disappear and you don't know what happened to them.
