Hannah Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Its just after 11 pm and we decided tonight not to lock our 5 month old kitten in as we've been doing in the evenings since we've got her. And now she hasn't come home yet. We lost our older cat about a month ago. He just didn't come home. We live rurally and there are many dangers out. Dd and I are really worried for her and I'm feeling SO guilty for not locking her in earlier. Please send kitten go home thoughts our way.

unsinkable Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 You got it! Go home, kitty! Right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 You must be so worried!!! :crying: Kitten, go home right now!!! Years ago, we decided that all of our cats would be 100% indoor cats. It turned out that they all loved being inside, and it was a lot less stressful for me than worrying about them when they didn't come home when I expected them to be here! I hope your kitten comes home very, very soon!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Praying. My cat was lost for a month before he showed back up. We had to use a live trap to catch him, but he's happy and sleeps all day on my chair now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannah Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 I guess I can't sit up all night waiting for her. I hope she is just having her first big adventure and will be here in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 :grouphug: Awwww, I've worked myself into tears about this sort of thing, then the little varmint wanders in the next day tired from his/her big adventure. One time dh got up in the middle of the night, found the cat around 3 or 4 am, and deposited it on the bed so I could get some decent sleep. Lots of Kitty Come Home thoughts coming your way from our house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Oh no! I know how stressful that is. I've stayed up half the night a few times waiting for a kitty to come back in. I hope Tango comes home safely. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catz Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Oh goodness, been there done this! A few weeks ago our cat got out and wouldn't come back in at night. I tried and tried so I went to bed. Wake up at 3 am to cat squealing out the window. Try AGAIN and I'm convinced he's injured from a fight. STILL won't come in. Comes in at 6 am like nothing happened. BAD KITTY! Come home baby kitty!

amyco Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Come home kitty! Ours went missing earlier this month for 5 days!! It was horrible! A neighbor saw our posters and called us; she had been under their cement steps for 3 days. Now we feel like kitty jailors for not letting her out at all, but it's better for all of us with her inside. Hoping yours comes home soon too!

catz Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Oh our kitty needs the occasional trip outside too or he'd be absolutely loopy and insane. We try to only let him out before 5 pm, but sometimes he sneaks! We have a 2nd cat that might escape to the back steps but would want back in the door in about 30 seconds.

Sisyphus Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Female cats are smarter- I've had probably 20 cats in my lifetime, and the female cats all outlived the males. Our male cats have been inside cats due to lethargy and well, dumbness, lol. So that is in kittens favor, she is a clever girl! And 5 months is not really kitten, she can fend for herself at that age. My bet is she will be crying at the door tomorrow morning, at least I hope so!

Sisyphus Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Well...at risk of sounding like a feline whatevertheoppositeofmisogynistis....yes. Male cats are kind of dumb. But sweet, friendly, not usually neurotic, and well behaved. Poor male kitties, victims of evolution- they don't have to live long enough to do more than spread their love around. Survival of the species is in the hands of those wily, crafty female cats...which if gone missing overnight is a bonus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I got the impression that it was very late at night for Hannah and that she went to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 She's here!!! I was just going to come and post that she'd not come back and that I was fearing the worst. I got up three times during the night to check on her favourite sleeping spots and was just dreading what to tell my girls - well, then I hear a scratching sound. She was in my closet! A new spot for her. We did check all the cupboards, but she must have crawled in under some clothing and not stirred when we went searching - or she did come in and climbed in there during the night. I am SO SO SO relieved. There will be no sympathy for her tonight, though. She's being locked in when the sun sets. Thank you everyone for your good thoughts and prayers. I appreciate this board!
