Five days ago, my mom accidently let out my sweet baby Sgt Van Buttons. He's just so fast and curious, he slipped out before we could do anything. He's actually escaped quite a few times before, but he's always stayed in our backyard & just hid underneath our porch, and he's always come back inside. The longest he's been out was for two days and we would see him running around outside. This time however, we haven't seen him at all. We didn't do anything at first, because we just assumed he'd come back like always, but it's been so long now & I'm very worried.
He's two years old and neutered. He's been an inside cat all his life & he has a collar with our phone number and address on it, but nobody has called. We looked everywhere for him, informed all our neighbors & even put up flyers earlier today & still nothing ): It's been raining a lot for the past few days so I feel like that may be delaying his return & maybe he's just scared hiding somewhere.
I know cats have a pretty good sense of direction, but I'm still very worried that he got himself lost. I put his dirty litter box and some food out back, hoping that maybe it would help him scent his way back. It's under cover, so it should be protected from the rain. We also live in a very safe neighborhood and there's hardly any cars around, so I highly doubt he'd get hit. He's so shy and timid, so I don't think he'd come to anybody either. I'm just so worried. I don't know what else to do. I love him so much & I'm very close to him. I've never had a pet run away and I am in total panic right now!!
I just pray he comes back. & I hope he'll be able to find food for himself. I have this huge pit in my stomach that just won't go away. I'm so worried I can't even sleep. I can't stop thinking about my sweet baby & I just want to cry all the time :,( He's slept with me nearly every night since we brought him home as a kitten two years ago, so I'm very lonely without him. I just miss him so much it hurts!! I really need support!! & I would very much appreciate some comforting words if you have them
