HEAR ME OUT, I know it’s long but I gave all the possible information here.
Just a few hours ago my cat, Summer, disappeared from our house. We looked everywhere, inside the house and the area I live in. I know I have to wait for 18 - 24 hours to act but I’m worry too much. What if he’s hungry and hasn’t found food? What if he got into a fight with another cat? What if a predator chased him and strayed further away? Or what if he doesn’t want to go home anymore?
Here’s everything:
1. My family always liked the idea of “slap punishment”, they do it on our cats when they damage things like couches and curtains. I already told my mother it won’t discipline them because THEY AREN’T HUMANS, she’s really annoying cause she never listens to me at all, she keeps her ways and still slaps the cats especially in the face, really hard. It just sickens me that I can’t do anything about it.
2. His food is good cat food (dry). Our cats always come down from upstairs whenever they hear the sound of the food container opening, or when I shake it to produce sound. I’m pretty sure they love it.
3. They are extremely energetic and playful with each other.
4. Summer is an approachable cat even for strangers.
5. His litter box is regularly cleaned up.
6. He doesn’t fight with the other cats.
7. He’s always afraid of going outside, I don’t know why he escaped.
8. Food is regularly given, at the right amount.
9. I’m the only family member who never punishes him, I always rub his chin/jaw and he loves it.
10. I live in a subdivision with walls and security guards, and I already told them about my missing cat. They said they’ll circle around to look for him.
11. He usually goes upstairs and starts to meow very loudly (I’ve heard they do it as a mating call?)
12. I sleep beside him and my other cats.
13. He doesn’t have toys, blankets, just other cats to play with.
What could be the cause of his disappearance? Any tips on how to find him? And what can I use to lure him?
