Question

she checked like 5 minutes later and now we cant find the cat

is the cat going to be able to come back to the door because she doesnt go out that often!

please help!

Answer 1

"but now we cant find HER" wrong

The correct form is "but now we cant find IT"

It'll come back, no worries.

Answer 2

Put some food out to get her to come back.

Answer 3

if the cat doesn't go out that often, she's probably just exploring the area. I've heard cats never forget where they live.

Answer 4

treats treats treats....is she spayed?  if not she may not come home for days, if at all.  keep calling her and use food and things that she is common to hearing.  good luck.

Answer 5

Be patient.  Your kitty will come home when she gets hungry.  Cats like to roam but they know where their food is.  She'll be back.

Answer 6

Your cat is probably exploring a bit. Chances are, if she's unharmed, she'll come back when she gets hungry. In the meantime, check with the neighbors to see if they've seen her, consider putting up some flyers, etc. Even if your cat is mostly an inside cat, I'd suggest having her wear a collar with at least her rabies tag attached to it in the future, if she doesn't have one. How old is your cat?

i know how you feel, i have had two cats go missing.

1) my cat crosby, was an outside cat.  male, un-neutered, was gone for a month.  my friends kept telling me he was dead and to get over it.  but i kept the faith...then one day, there he was on the porch.  looked like he had been put through a wood chipper from all the fights he was in.  no doubt trying to get some tail.  he ended up dying of feline aids about 3 years later, very sad.  i loved that cat, i am a man and i cried when he died, i raised him from a stray kitten off of the streets.

2) my current cat azrael, male, neutered, declawed, inside cat.  i drank too much one night and left the front door open.  was gone for about 2 weeks.  i knew he was around because neighbors saw him.  and the food i left out over night was eaten.  we eventually tracked him to a grouping of juniper bushes about a 100 yards from the house.  he wouldnt come out, he was scared.  we left him and he followed us home, then i grabbed him.

the only thing i can suggest is to put out food for him.  i also put some of his litter in the back yard and a pillow that he always slept on out by the garage hoping he would smell it.  go around the neighborhood and call him.  inform your neighbors to keep an eye out.  I got lucky twice and retrieved my lost kitties...but usually they end up gone forever or on the side of the road.  good luck.

Answer 8

I'm sure she'll come back. Give her some time. It sounds like this wasn't an accident - your mum let the cat out on purpose right? So this should be a lesson to you that you need to keep the kitty indoors or stay outside with her the whole time.

And to dfdfdfdf whatever, with the comment above me, get a grip. Animals don't lose their gender just because they're neutered or spayed.  Her cat is still female. We don't call men with vasectomies or missing testicles "it", do we?

Answer 9

most likely she's having a ball and will come back when she's ready,is it possible to let her out more often? cats really enjoy a bit of outside freedom.

Answer 10

She may or may not return.  If she is not spayed, she may come back pregnant.  This can be terminated.

Take food out and sit around calling her and maybe she will respond.

You can get a harness and leash and train her to tolerate it then take her outside.

Answer 11

Put something that he/she really loves by the house place tuna fish treats food  outside of your house she will probably come back. One time one of my cats i used to have got out. And she stayed out for three days. I saw her coming back with a huge black cat. It turns out he impregnated her. What i lured was with was strawberry yogurt.
