Upset W/myself, missing cat Options

[kirasmom]

Glad to have a place to share, but sorry for the cir%%stance that brought me here. My Kira has been gone for four days. She came to me as a stray baby and has always been an inside/outside cat. We lived in the country with fields and woods for her to hunt in. Recently, we moved to town, a neighborhood. I had planned on keeping her in from then on and decided to adopt a friend for her. So we made the move with both kitties and things were going well. They bonded and played all day together. I feel very guilty now. Moving and bringing another cat into the family must have been too much. One evening, she asked to go out into the backyard. I've been so trusting of her these last five years that I walked away from her and went inside to do some laundry. We have done the flyers, put ads in the papers, contacted vets and animal control. Also, put out her food, litter box, and bedding in the hopes she could smell her way back. I cannot give up hope. My little kitten is now lost without her big sis to roll around with and pester. Hopefully, we will have a happy ending to tell.
