I don't know why God is punishing me and my kitten like this. What he will get by doing this to a small kitten. I am seeing hell from 10 days. This pain is killing me and I'm losing my hope.
God is not punishing you or your kitten - we just live in a sinful world & bad things happen! Keep your hope alive - stinky fish has brought home many a cat!

Lost cats rarely go very far. She could be quite close to your house, but just too scared and confused to come home. If a cat gets chased by something they go into panic mode and forget how to get home, even when home is quite near by.

A few years ago there was a very big earthquake in the place I live. A couple of days later a cat showed up at my house. He was clearly someone's pet. He stayed at my place for about a month, sleeping inside and walking in the front yard with my own cats everyday. Eventually a lady who lived just two streets away saw the Found Cat posters I'd made and came to get him.

He'd never been outside before, but when they earthquake happened the lady ran outside and left the doors open and he followed her. He was too scared and confused by all the noise and shaking to remember where he lived.

Keep looking. Try going out just before sunrise, when it's cooler and cats are more likely to be active.
Thank you for all the support. Tonight I went to search again. I've seen a kitten very similar to honey. She was running away from me. I chased her. She stopped at some point. Her face didn't look like honey and also she was very scared. I'm not able to see her clearly with the cell phone torch. It was very dark outside. Within no time she ran again. I am not sure whether it was her not. She has all the markings like honey but her face was different.

Thank you for giving me hope. I was very angry and hopeless when I wrote it. I only want my honey come back to me.

I feel like I could have bought a collar for honey. Not knowing what happened to her is sickening.

I want to go back in time and stop her from going outside.

WHen you find her, you can get her a collar. Just make sure it is a break-away, so that she can't hang herself if it gets caught on something.

A collar is good but microchipping is a sure thing. Keep looking. If you find her, don’t chase her. Just talk softly, walk slowly and do lots of ‘slow blinks’. If she appears skittish, stop/freeze and look away while calling her. Then a minute later try taking one step forward.

Don’t give up hope. Perhaps a catch them alive trap where you saw the cat that looked like honey? How did her face look different? You said there was very little light.

Oh and as someone who has their life ripped apart and completely demolished by MS attacks 3 times; I do not believe God causes bad things to happen to anyone. (For one thing, a god that did that would be a jerk and I would hate that god!) Instead I believe things happen as a consequence of people’s actions and because random chance. I hope that thought brings you comfort.

My boy Jackie has gotten out about a dozen times for quick 10 minute or less explorations when visiting my mom’s house (now I have squirt bottles and he respects the door boundary!) Oh and he got out twice through my sliding glass door in my apartment .... now I toss him in the bathroom before I open the sliding glass door. A curious teen kitten is hard to contain and they like to sneak out. So it isn’t that you did something wrong. Sometimes in life things just happen.

I don't know there were break away collars before. I will order these collars for my cats now.

I'm so sorry to hear of your health struggles. I have heard about the MS attack. I know it must have been a very difficult and painful experience. You are very strong and brave for being able to cope. Nobody should ever have to go through that sort of thing. I wish you recovery and all the best.

Microchipping doesn't work in my country. May be it helps for dogs but not for cats. Here nobody adopts cats.. Even if they did they are not aware of such things. Even the animal shelters also don't take cats. They are not trained to handle them.
I asked a shelter home for cat traps. They said they don't have such traps.
When I saw that kitten.. She immediately ran very quickly. So I had no other option but to chase her. She stopped and hidden in a box. So many people have surrounded me.. I told them to go.. the kitten is getting scared but they didn't.. Poor kitty got very scared. And I don't know what was wrong with me... I didn't call her name. I kept my mouth shut all the time and busy looking at her markings. She has the same markings like honey. But her face was different.. It didn't look like honey. Within no time, she ran away again. I gave my number to those people and told them to not surround and chase the kitty... Give her some milk and call me.
When she has hidden in the box.. I used the mobile flashlight and checked her. It was very dark outside.

Thank you. I will definitely follow your advice when I find her.

no milk - cats are lactose intolerant. Tuna water (the juice from water-packed tuna) is a better choice, or all meat baby food.

I know they are lactose intolerant but these people can only offer her milk to stop her until I reach that place. I can't expect more from them.

I'm afraid now that she might have jumped into a moving van or something. If that had happened I can never find her, right? What's the possibility of anything like this happened to her? What should I do?
I'm really sorry if I'm annoying you all with my comments. I'm very depressed right now. I'm not able to cope up with her missing.

Are you set up to have 2 kits? because having a 2nd helps keep your mind off the missing one, plus they can play together when Honey is back. Just a thought...

I have got other cats but not knowing what happened to honey is so nerve racking to me. Everyone is scolding me and telling me to stop searching. I'm angry and feeling helpless. All I could do is cry.

You search until your heart tells you to stop. That's all you can do. If you find her, and you may well, even yet, then you can tell them, "SEE, you were WRONG!" If you do not, then you will know you did ALL that you could you, you will mourn for her, and you will be able to get through it, knowing you did all you could do.

I'm still holding out hope that she will be found.

You are right. I believe she'll come to me.
