If he left by himself he will return, otherwise he is most likely taken by another animal or possibly person. Also good luck to finding your cat  I have a cat myself but I live in an apartment.Last edit: 2009-06-07 00:15:41 |

My grandma once had a cat (a wild one) that loved her for some reason. Everyday it would be the same thing; the cat would be sitting there waiting for her. One day she decided to take the cat and drop him off somewhere really far. My aunt and her got in the car with the cat and drove him to some place. When they came back, the cat was sitting there waiting for them.
But that only applies to wild cats, I don't know if yours will do the same thing (however, I'm pretty sure it'll come back, cats aint dogs... dumb)

| My cat did that once... and got hit by a car. Most of the time, cats will always find their way home, no matter how far they get unless something outside of their control happens. I hope your cat comes back |

| If he's outdoors a lot then yes he can and most likely will find his way back home. |

the thing is... my backyard is fenced, he has never been outside in the frontyard but has seen it. he probably has seen the house from the outside three times since ive had him for the past year. the place where i live do not have any animal thats big enough (maybe neighbor dogs) that can kill my cat, at least i hope. there are no coyotes or anything either.
i honestly hope no one takes my cat, i really really hope he finds his way home. sharing some pics. hes grown up since the last time i posted pictures of him.

He doesn't have a collar or tag or something with a # to call in case someone finds him?
Hope he comes back. |

awww looks like lolcat material  I believe cats are as smart or smarter than dogs and if dogs can find their way home, so can cats |

Is he neutered? Male cats who haven't been fixed have a habit of dissapearing for up to a week at a time when it's mating season, so you shouldn't be too worried. Even if it is neutered, cats do go on some odysseys for a day or two at times, but it's much more rare for the neutered ones than the non-neutered ones.
Another option - are there many high-traffic roads nearby? Your cat could have been hit and killed - lost a cat myself like that 10 years ago.
Anyhow, if he's not been outside your fenced backyard before, chances are he'll be scared and trying to find his way home. Keep a window or something open so he can hop in if he drops by at some point when you're not at home / don't notice him being around. |

Did it take a map when it left?
If so odds are pretty good. He may have to ask other cats around for direction otherwise. |

| Don't worry yet, one of our cats was sometimes missing for a week before he came back. Just try to shout his name, either this evening or tomorrow morning... |

Almost definitely can find his way home, even if he hasn't been outside your yard much. He should be able to find his way back with smells and sounds as much as vision.
And yeah, being gone one night isn't really anything to worry about. My cats have do that... maybe regularly is a stretch, but it's not uncommon. I'd say if he isn't home by sometime tomorrow, it's probably time to start worrying a bit.
One of my cats once managed to sneak into a neighbor's house right as they were leaving on vacation. We didn't find her until they got back 6 days later and found her sitting in a window. |

thats what i regret. he DOESNT have a collar, thats mainly because we never let him out but its nice for him to soak up the sun and run around and not be a lazy cat that sleeps all day.

yeah hes neutered. if he goes back from the direction that he should be heading there are no highways/little-to-no traffic. if he goes from my frontyard then 2streets down there is a main road that intersects with a highway. ill leave the door open for him if he decides to come back tonight.

this shouldnt be a problem.
my cats go out for days at a time rofl. not really sure where they go but they always come back.
i had this one cat a long time ago that would disappear for like a month at a time. he lived in a couple different houses at the same time. we met it's "other owner" lol
really, just wait and it should come back sometime. |

| thats why I never let my cats be outdoor cats/semi out door cats. Too risky, they have statistically like 3 or four years less on their life span simply because of that. |
