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) cheers | ||

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 | ||

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

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. | ||

If so odds are pretty good. He may have to ask other cats around for direction otherwise. | ||

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. | ||

Hope he comes back. 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.

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.

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. 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.

Just try to shout his name, either this evening or tomorrow morning... will do, thanks for the advice everyone, its gotten my hopes up. my mom is angry at herself for letting him out too. | ||
