One of our cats has failed to come back. She has been out now for around 36hrs 
I have been out this morning for an hour trying to find her but no sign so far. Its a fairly out of character for her. She tends to be mostly an indoor cat that likes to eat and lots of fuss. The most she has been out is one evening, she been gone for two nights now.
Really starting to worry and feel useless that we cannot find/help her. She tends to get scared and the hides and only comes out when she is ready.

Hi guys thanks for all the comments.
The collar she was wearing was glow in the dark and have bells, so I headed out last night at dusk with a flash light and treats. Also used her sisters collar around my wrist as that has worked in the past.
Found two other cats but not our one. Posters are being made today. We have a fair amount of wooded area and streams close by so I am hoping she is adventuring in them.
Its been really hot here 32 degrees so I'm hoping she is laying low somewhere
Hope she turns up as we are moving in a month. New place has a huge garden and is in a much quieter area. getting them used to the new lace with be another thread
So far its been 3 nights and I haven't slept very well. The other half hasn't slept at all

Shes Home!
Just got back from putting the posters up and there she was sitting inside the flat meowing at us. Ultra cuddly and doesn't seem to have any ill effects. So relived and so happy. Thank you all for your suggestions and comments. Bloody cats

Sounds about right 
One of mine disappeared one torrid stormy night. Thing is, the cat flap was set for entry only - we didn't want the cats going out in a really nasty storm - but one disappeared anyway. We could only conclude that she'd got into the kitchen and behind a unit where it's possible to gain access to a vertical square column containing pipework. This leads down under the house and is suspended in a curious maze from the garage ceiling underneath. We figured she could only have got in there (via the kitchen) and had visions of having to phone the fire brigade at 11:30pm to come and smash into it to get her out. After a good half an hour scampering about outside, pressing against walls listening for noises, and getting soaked by the inclement weather, we headed back inside, to be greeted by 'soggy moggy' in the hallway. Judging by how wet she was she'd obviously been out, but how she'd got out we had no idea ... at least not until she duly demonstrated her newly acquired talent for opening a cat flap set for entry only by wrapping her extended claws around the edge of the flap and pulling the it inward.
Little bugger

the other half wants one of the smart cat flaps and I have visions of my two doing the same thing. Gassing Station | All Creatures Great & Small | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
