    Do indoor cats come back after several days? Please tell me stories.

    Thanks for the stories and advice everyone. I got my boy back after 7 days. He was only 250 feet from home in an area I had searched every day, usually multiple times, without seeing him. I still have no idea where he was hiding. On the 6th night, a neighbor spotted him, and I caught him in a...

    Can a cat be injured by a Havahart trap?

    Thank you both for the info. This is the first sighting of my cat since he ran off and I'm finally hopeful I can get him back, but I would feel so terrible if I hurt him in the process.

    Can a cat be injured by a Havahart trap?

    I'm posting this in the strays and ferals category because I figure you're the people who know about trapping cats, but actually I'm trying to trap my missing indoor boy. A neighbor spotted him late last night, so I ran out and got a Havahart one door trap (the kind that says it's for cats...

    Do indoor cats come back after several days? Please tell me stories.

    Thanks. Was he stuck up on the shed roof or just hiding there? I'm trying to look everywhere but I'm so afraid he's gotten himself stuck somewhere and I won't find him in time.

    Do indoor cats come back after several days? Please tell me stories.

    This is what I keep hearing. And it's like... on the one hand it's really hopeful, and it does make sense with my cat's personality, because he's quite shy. I just feel like I've looked EVERYWHERE that he could be hiding nearby a million times. So if he's not there, is he anywhere? Thinking...

    Do indoor cats come back after several days? Please tell me stories.

    Thank you, those stories do make me feel a little more hopeful. I guess I should be covering more ground. I live in an apartment complex. While I don't think there are strays around, tons of people in the building have cats. So I'm afraid that even if my guy does know where we live, he'll be...

    Do indoor cats come back after several days? Please tell me stories.

    My indoor-only baby has been gone for 5 days and my heart is breaking. I know that they often hide close to home, but I've looked everywhere nearby multiple times per day. He's nowhere. I've followed all the tips and tricks for luring him back, handed out fliers all over the neighborhood, posted...
