Adopted cat missing for 6 days. I feel so guilty and sad . HELP!

It is possible. Cats are hyperaware of their surroundings, and are not fond of change. It is also, still, possible that he will come back. I've gone weeks without seeing some of my Outsiders (the little group of ferals I care for). When I've given up, and begun to adjust to never seeing them again, there they are again (not all, but a significant number). ONE showed up after almost six months, with a collar! I'd gotten him friendly enough that someone took him in. That was three years ago, and he still swings by occasionally, just to say hello.

Oh i am so glad some of your feline friends has returned.Fingers crossed the rest returns.

Your experience certainly gives me hope that our tabby mix will return

Still no sign of tabby mix . Its approaching over 2 weeks now . It is so usual because he bonded so well with me. There waa not a day where he failed ro visit . Makes me wonder if he got knock down.. but yet he doesnt cross the road.. It is such a void without his cute lityle cacd

Still no sign of our nearly adopted tabby , however, i would like someone to tell me if i am reading to much into this.

My adopted tabbys friend came today and kept sniffing round a newly built wooden box we had built to replace the one that had collasped ( which our first cat ( and our nearly afopted tabbys friend) slept before he passed away.

We built the new one to house our nearly adopted tabby , just in case he wanted somewhere ro sleep.

Unfortunately, he went missing before he could get familar with it.. This may have been the reason he left ( possibly) because the one he was familar with and found solace /comfort was the one that housed his friend that passed away.

Anyways, tabbys current friend ( which is the exact same cat as our first which passed away) kept sniffing around going in and out of the newly built home several times today.

My question is could it be possible that tabby returned during the middle of the night and his friend smells his scent orl could it be the cat is merely interested in making the home for himelf?

Surely if our nearly adopted tabby had returned, he would visit use again during the day. Am i reading to much into this ?

No one knows any more - and probably less - than you do. You don't really even know that this other cat is your nearly adopted cat's friend, do you? Did you feed your nearly adopted cat? If so, did you continue to put out food for him after he disappeared?

I think at this point, you are driving yourself crazy over something you have no control over. He could have been moved with his owners, he could have found someplace else to be, and so on and so on.

The new tabby may merely be interested in the new wooden box for himself. I would imagine that it the case.

All you can do is let this go. If he shows up one day, great. If he does not, you being in a state of continual worry won't change anything.

Yes.

Can cats have more than two families they decide to be with?

Youre right but i can't help how i feel. I had grown extremely fond of him and the bond we had, for him to just vanish like he did- knowing that it wasnt his true nature is what niggles me . I know i have to finally accept the fact he may not return, but its hard, given that he was with us for 6 months visiting us 4 times a day without fail
