I left Friday and fed her in the morning, my roomie was going to feed her while I was out of town. She did not appear at all Saturday, Sunday, Monday, or today. She has never missed more than 1 feeding (I do twice a day). The neighbor down the road 8 houses or so came by Sunday while I was away and asked roomie if roomie had seen a big gray cat, so there is another one missing. I don't mean to needlessly alarm anyone but I am alarmed inasmuch as I don't want the cats to be suffering. I am within 1/2 mile of Sea Dunes (where ItzKatzTime lost hers) as the cat prowls. Foul play? Fowl Play? Birds of the world unite :idontno: I hope she pops up soon.

I'm sorry elgordo, hope you find it soon.

Uhhhhhh, I don't know if your roomie could keep up with himself, much less a cat! :biggrin: (tell him I said this)

Didn't y'all have some nasty storms of late? My cats used to disappear occasionally when they first arrived when it rained. Apparently if they take off hunting or catting around, if it rains, they lose their scent home. Eventually, they make it back. Could also be what CCK said, she is giving you the cold shoulder.

Hope she makes it back soon.

Oh nooooo this can't be happening. While Kalie and I were out today we saw two posters for missing cats. :eek: We're so sad....and I know you are too egb. I've hunted the woods, made fliers for the mail boxes, talked with people and put posters up offering a reward. Not one call.

Check the shelters egb as they post pictures of what they pick up everyday. Please let us know if she comes home....good luck to you. Do you have any pictures?

Where are all the cats going? :idontno:

I am so sorry for all the missing cats. It is very sad. My sister has a cat that found her. She was an outside cat for awhile, until my sisters neighbor came over and had a talk with her about Georgia (cat's name) killing the birds in his yard. Since then, the cat has been an inside cat and has done very well. Also, my sister had another cat that she truly loved that roamed outside. She became infected with feline leukimia and had to be put down. The vet told my sister that cats really need to be inside animals. They live a much longer life if they are inside. I know it is hard to do that if you have always had cat's that come in and out. But I truly believe they can learn to be inside only cats and survive. I will spare you the truly heartrbeaking story of one of the cats that I had long ago that I worshipped. He was an outside cat as well, and died a horrible death. I said then that I would never have another pet that lived outside. I hope that I do not sound insensitive because I am not. I am very sad about these cats and just want them all to come back home to all of you, and when they do, please keep them inside.

Sorry cats are going missing, could it be hawks?

Elgord and Katz are over in Dune Allen, I wonder if the Oyster lake monster is to blame?

Good thoughts and fingers crossed for the safe return of all the cats missing right now. Unfortunately, this time of year is usually the middle of coyote pup season, and during that time, they'll often go after cats even during daylight hours.

First off, thanks guys. Secondly, ain't no way a coyote or some mythical lake beast or worse, hawks got the cat. She was battle trained and fully outfitted with
Hopefully she shows back up. I have always had indoor pets when I have had pets, this one came with the house though but was never comfortable inside (except for a few weeks) and recently would yowl to get out after a bit.

Any luck yet with your cat elgordoboy? I have hunted everywhere...have had people calling with siteings a week ago. I was also told their is someone who feeds cats at the north end of the crossover/bridge at Oyster Lake. I've looked but found no signs of cats or cat food.

We are so sad!:(:cry:

Nothing at all. I am getting resigned to the fact that she is gone. I'll be chopping veggies or stirring grits in the kitchen and see a shadow out of the back door and think it is her. I am not blubbery about her but I probably could get that way if I thought about it much. I check 7 times a day for her, I have some small hope that she pops up in the next little while (no good reason to think this though). I am sorry for you guys especially.
