My cat has been missing for 20 days now. She is 3 years old, spayed and microchipped. She is an indoor/outdoor cat (mostly outdoor). She's been living at our back yard area with her other two cat siblings for the past 3 years. She's never left the premises for more than an hour. She's always been around, but one day she's gone missing.
I've notified the animal shelter, humane society, animal control, vets, and neighbors. I've posted the lost cat signs around the neighborhood, posted on Facebook community site for lost and found pets, and NextDoor as well. We're continuously walking and driving multiple times a day around the neighborhoods as well.
My worry is that couple days before she went missing, there was a stray male cat that came by. He came and ate food, sat on the cat tree, and even went inside our cat house! (When I saw and opened the door, the stray male cat would always run away and disappear) and I saw a pee(?) mark on one of the cat stratcher beds one day as well, although I'm still not sure who's pee it was. Also, on the day she went missing, my dad saw her with a random cat in front of our house. We do not know where or which way she went to after that and I was not home at the time.
Every day since she's gone missing I am in tears. I am mentally and emotionally drained out. I have lost my appetite and lost focus on everything. I walk around the neighborhoods with the treat container calling out her name multiple times a day. I just can't help myself thinking what if something bad happened to her. I'm trying to keep my hope and faith that she's going to come back, I can find her and that she's alive, but I can't stop thinking to myself all the "what if's". Has anyone lost their cats before and came back? I'm so worried cause she's been spayed ever since she was a kitten when we adopted her. She's never left the premises. Please send me advice and stories of your missing pets return...
Couple neighbors told me they saw her. One neighbor said she was seen in their back yard. They tried to approach her but she ran into the woods. And one neighbor told me she was seen in front of a different neighbors front yard, but ran away. I'm not sure if the cat they saw was really her..I really hoped there was a photo they took when they saw her...but no photo. I really hope it was her though. I've been walking around multiple times around the neighborhood to check, but no luck yet and it's been about a week now that neighbors said they've seen her. I felt a little relief when I heard that neighbors saw a cat just like mine, but now since more and more days are passed and no updates from anyone who may have seen my cat, I'm getting more anxious and stressed out again.
I'm just so stressed out and worried sick. I just want her back, but else than the neighbors saying they saw a cat just like her, I've been getting prank calls from kids, scam messages for the posts I posted online about my missing cat. All I want is for her to be back home or at least know she's alive and safe. It really hurts to not know anything about it.
