MY CAT CAME HOME TONIGHT

[PortTack]

37. Great! My fur baby got out and was out for 3 wks once, it's terrible

We knew where was…hiding from us, afraid. Very feral when we first had him and was reverting. We feared we would never catch him…in the end we did.

There was a site called missingpetpartnership,that helped us understand how and where to look that was key. Unfortunately the site is no longer available, but basically this is what they said, so for those of you who may still be looking for your cat I hope this helps

1. Your cat is usually very close by, unlike dogs they don’t run, they hide close by. They may desperately want back in, but don’t know how to or where to go.
2. Put their liter box outside where they can smell it- sheltered from weather. Helps them re-establish their connection
3. Of course leave food
4. Leave a favorite blanket that the two of you shared close to the door they got out of
5. If they come around, but are afraid, returning to a feral state, when you see them sit down quietly at a distance and most importantly do not make eye contact…keep your head down and wait. Let them approach you, but again don’t make eye contact
6. By all means consider a live trap
