No, not at all. I understand how worrying it can be to care for a cat that is entirely outdoors, but cats don't understand that we're concerned about them.
Even a completely feral cat that relies on hunting, rather than on care givers for food, will vary their location. They wouldn't always...
It's really not that unusual for outdoor cats to disappear like that. Especially now that spring is coming and there are all these birds and rodents around. Do you have a doorcam or any other kind of camera set up so you can see if he comes back to your property? He might be coming around late...

I'm sorry you are going through this @Antonio65

I've found it helps to write something like "REWARD for any information leading to the recovery of missing cat" on the fliers. That gets people's attention. You don't need to say how much the reward is.

Her temperature is slightly high, but it's still within the normal range. Blood tests will show if she has any infection. It's a very simple test, they just look at the amount of white blood cells she has. Elevated white blood cells show that the body is fighting off an infection.
Keeping my...
It is possible to socialize cats and kittens outside, but at 5 weeks old they are incredibly vulnerable. They could get picked up by predators, get separated from their mother and get lost, they could pick up parasites or diseases that would be fatal to them at that age. They'll really stand a...
Are you able to take the whole family in and care for them until the kittens can be rehomed? If the mother is friendly it should be easy enough to get them socialized, but you will need a small room to keep the whole family in while you do this. A spare room or bathroom is fine.
Keep giving...
She's gorgeous!
One of my cats had an infection in his tooth that couldn't be seen at all when the vet checked inside of his mouth. It formed an abscess that burst out the bottom of his jaw. It was pretty scary to see and must have been very painful for him.
Tumours are pretty rare. I think...
Is it possible to keep all of your cats indoors? Or to keep them contained in your yard and garage? You might have to put up some cat proof fencing to do this. FIV and FeLV are both very contagious, so it's likely that all of your cats have been infected. If you let them roam around they'll...
There's something painful going on in her mouth. I've seen my cats do that when they have gum inflammation or a bad tooth. You can't always see anything wrong, but your vet will be able to spot it.
Yes, she needs to go to the vet as soon as possible. She might need to be scheduled for teeth...
