Hi this is my first time posting on any kind of forum, but I'm desperate and scared. My 10 month old indoor cat Theo is missing. We are about to get snow and ice tonight. I live in the South and we don't get weather like this very often. I have him on an indoor camera at 4pm Wednesday. My husband got home an hour later and our older cat ran out the side door (which is normal) - my husband swears he never saw the baby. He walked across the house to the back door to let the dog out but it thundered really loud so the dog wouldn't go out, but the older cat ran back in the back door (weird, but that's what happened). 6 minutes later, a meow is heard on the camera near the side door but my husband didn't realize Theo was missing so he didn't investigate beyond opening the laundry room door and closing it. I've heard nothing since then. I got home 2 hours later after dark and looked through the ENTIRE house and yard. I have since looked again maybe 8 times. Nothing. Theo is skittish and usually hides for 10 minutes after we get home. HIGHLY unusual for him to run out, especially for my husband to not see him. But I have no other ideas. The part that is scaring me is this VERY cold, icy, snowy weather for the next 3 days. Can he survive if he's outside?!???? I am a basket-case. I've made flyers, tried to talk to neighbors. My immediate neighbors didn't answer the door so I can't hunt their backyards. I've put out food, litter, etc. Called the shelter. I don't think he would let anyone get their hands on him. He runs from me unless I'm sitting. He was feral up until 6 weeks of age when a friend found him and brought him to me.
Maybe I just need reassurance. Maybe I need someone to tell me they've been through this? Anything helps. I'm a mess.
