well i am gutted he has not come back well i let the cat out at half four when i got in from the sun inn yesterday and i haven't seen him since i cant believe it he was in and out all day saturday he was out for two hours yesterday morning and now he has disappeared i will go and have a look round the village later on but i am not holding much hope oh well what can you do

aw man, he'll come back.  Cats are like that.  He'll just turn up at the door tomorrow when he wants food lol. How long did you have him before letting him out?                                                                                                                                                                             

get a dog..........there loyal........                                                                                                                                                                             

Don't worry, If he's not had "the snip" he may stay away for a day or 2. Bet he will come back when he wants feeding .                               

Oh dear,I'd be distraught!!!!! When he comes back make sure you keep him in for at least 2 weeks,and get him 'fixed',he'll be less likely to stray far then                                                                                                                                                                              

HG, what ya suggesting, "fixed", one whisper of that and I wouldn't blame him for staying away. If he hasn't been "fixed" he may stay out for a while, normal behavior, my Simba sometimes disappears for a day or two. Vet said to get him done, but always found it wrecks their character, think he knows I'm lookin out for him, so he loves me!!!                                                                                                                                                                                

he has had the snip i kept him in for eight days matt                                                                                                                                                                             

Hey OGB, don't go lookin for him on yr bike...that can will scare the fur off him!   I reckon like the others have said, he's gone for some nooky .. he will be strutting his stuff, and he will be back when hes hungry                                                                                                                                                                              

Sorry if it brought tears to your eyes Newkid .Getting both sexes of cat 'fixed' is a way to stop unwanted kittens,the spread of cat AIDS and other veneral diseases cat can spread.I am a member of the CPL and some of the sites I have seen,especially newborn kittens who have been born blind,limbless,some with no bottom jaws is awful.Then the older cats who are in the late stages of organ failure,advanced STDs,etc.Do you practise safe-sex? And for what reasons ?

Ok, ok, I get the point, and I agree, pretty sure that if I got him a 5 pack he wouldn't use them, . As he's been done I would look in the pub, maybe drowning his sorrows, . Sorry, not being unconcerned, just looking at the funny side of life. If hes only just been done hes prob still got all that testoterone, hasnt realised it yet! He'll be back. 

Being 'fixed' doesnt erase testosterone,cats will still try and mate,fixed or not.It stops kittens and disease.                                                                                                                                                                             

he could just be making the most of the warm nights, and they are independant little beasties, he will make his own mind up about where he wants to be, dont give up on him just yet                                                                                                                                                                             

So whats "fixed" and how does it stop diseases if hes still gona try to perform? In humans its getting the snip, as in cutting the tubes, but surely in cats it would be a complete removal of the bits to stop it wanting? This thread could get messy!

PS I just read the other post, didn't realize he only got him last week.

well just had a look round the village nothing i will just have to see if he turns up                                                                                                                                                                             

everyone's got there finger's crossed! [cept XK he's a meanie!]                                                                                                                                                                             

Awww...hope he turns up....dont lose hope just yet tho....when I moved I kept mine in for about 2 weeks....on their second day of freedom the eldest got startled by something (he's easily startled bless 'im!)...and disappeared for 12 days...! Thought I'd lost him for good...but after printing and delivering flyers to all the surrounding areas I finally got a phone call that he was in someones kitchen about 10 minutes walk away...miaowin his daft head off....                                                                                                                                                                             

well theres nothing i can do a cats cat as they say bloody thing they dont do as they are told like dogs                                                                                                                                                                             

Feel for ya there ogb , my cat disappeared 2 weeks ago when I was away in Scotland and aint come back yet . Lind had chucked him out after he'd attacked our youngest , guess he got the hump coz i wasn't there . He's really Lind's cat , but he always doted on me .

I'd taken 2 of the kids up to Scotland with me , they were gutted when we got back and he'd gone , kept asking me "when's Spice coming home ? " . No answer to that question eh !!

Half the nieghbours loved him too and used to give him little tipbits could be he's sought refuge with 1 of them .

He knew my car and bike , and would come racing round when he heard me coming .

Had him 3 n a half years from a 6 week old kitten and he'd been cut at 6 months .

Here's hoping both of them turn up .

he turned up at 11pm last night i think i am treating him like a dog anyway he is safe now                                                                                                                                                                             

Woohoo, at least you know that he knows where home is now OGB.
