Mr Meowgy The Karate Kat Is Missing, A little on my missing loved pet Options

[FranticOwner]

Hello,

I have recentley lost a pet. My cat Mr Meowgy went out for his wander 4 days ago and I haven't seen him since. Usually i can set my watch by him for being there in the morning and at night.
I've tried all the advice that's given, posters, contacting local agencies, vets, knocking neighbours, and going out looking. But he hasn't shown up. I don't know if i can continue physically searching. There is a BIG BIG area to search, with lots of empty terraced houses with concrete box backyards i can't get into, huge parks, posh houses behind locked gates, and a LOT of garages and things i can't get to to check. But, i don't know if i can keep searching without a "confirmed" sighting of him to chase down. I could be wandering for hours in the complete wrong direction. And all of this is within 10 minutes walk ! I can just imagine how far he might have gone.

We've had a report or two about a cat that looks similar, or someone that has seen him before, but usually seen before he went missing.
We had a call last night from someone saying they found him, but he ran away again.

He's only been able to go out for a month or so on his own (he just figured out how to get over the back wall!), he's only about 8 - 12 months old.


I've had him since he was 6 weeks old, and he's absolutely irreplacable to me and my wife, but I in particular am not dealing with this well. I and i'm beside myself with worry. I can barely function and I keep randomly breaking down. I keep going out searching, but we have a terraced housing area where i can't get into all the alleys, and a lot of empty houses too, so he could be stuck in one of those backgardens.
Also, we have a really big park area right next to our house (he was sighted on the opposite side of it!), as well as gardening allotments, so he could have gotten into trouble there (allotment owners are known for killing cats here).

I don't know what to do, and I dont want to lose hope. I know this is in a cats nature to do, and he could reappear at any time, but i think he's getting scared more and more away from his "turf".

I'm really finding it difficult to function, it feels like time has stopped and my days are meshing together. I've hardly been able to eat. And for a little background on me, i'm a 28 year old married man, ex soldier, and i've been bawling my eyes out for days!

Hi Meowgy's Dad, I just saw your post!

Any luck yet?

Are some of your posters at intersections ?
Maybe put "REWARD" in big florescent letters?
I've heard that it can help to place a can of tuna or sardines out, along with clothing that has your or your kitty's scent on it

I have a list of tips that I am in the process of looking for, in case there is anything you haven't already tried. I will let you know when I find it.

Sending prayers for Meowgy's safe return!!

Kathy
