My parents have 5 cats. They do not worry if one of them do not show up a day or two. They wonder the neighbourhood after mice, little birds.

that's a good kitty :)

Omg =))) thats just pure bad luck! Its fine you'll laugh about it later ;)

Cats are really good hiders, apparently. My mom's cat went missing once, for almost an entire day. We put up a few flyers, asked around, stuff like that. Turns out he was hiding in one of the bedrooms.

Always shake the biscuit box, if anything will make them come to you, it'll be food!

I spent a whole afternoon running through the neighbourhood looking for my kitten, it turned out my cat was sitting on her the whole time. Cats are assholes.

Having 2 cats, I know how this feels. I know check the whole house before I'm going outside. Never made flyers though, I just walk around shaking the bottle of whipped cream (they love it).

You'd like him to stay lost?

I was babysitting my neighbours black cat once, for a week at my house. Within an hour i thought i lost her, literally did NOT see her once the entire week. When the neighbour came by to pick her up she found her on the top shelf of a unit in my basement. Like a chameleon that one.

Throw the cat outside and wait for someone to bring it back. Then the signs will not have been in vain!
