My little cat's gone

[maherwoman]

Oh, she's definitely at the right age for it, in fact a bit past. She's never been in heat before?

Our Sunny (and most other kitties I've had) went into heat at about six months, so Mitten was definitely due.

I would suggest when she comes home to keep her indoors until she'sspayed, just to be sure this doesn't happen again. But, inthe meantime, I suggest keeping some sort of food outside for her (herregular food would be best).

Were there ANY signs of odd health issues before she left?

I will keep your baby Mitten in my prayers...I know how hard it is to not be able to find your baby.

Hugs to you guys,

Rosie*

Thanks guys! Sadly there is still no sign of her

If she is with a boy, is it likely that she'd come home? I was thinkingif she got pregnant she'd come back to have the kittens, but I haven'ta clue really, I' no cat expert. Would she only stay away for thelength of time she was in heat? How long do cats go into heat for?:? Wesaw no signs that she was in heat before she went missing, but I didn'tactually see her that day because I was at school.

Sorry for all the questions, if anybody can answer them I'd reallyappreciate it, we weren't expecting to have to know anything about thisbecause we had planned to have her spayed!

hope she comes back, my female cats always wandered off and used to come back and have kittens a few weeks later.
once they were spayed they never wandered off again.
we were told by our vet that it was best to let them have kittens before spaying:?

Hi Sami, what was the longest your cats ever went away for? Did theyever return after more than a week? Mitten's been gone for six daysnow, and I've kind of given up hope that she'll be back.

That sounds strange to me that the vet said that, should they not betrying to reduce cat numbers, I know here there is an overpopulation ofcats, all the shelters are full of them andthere are so manystrays in my area (plenty of opportunities for Mitten I guess:?)

Rosie- She's never been in heat before, definitely, and she seemed perfectly healthy before she left.

I honestly don't expect to ever see her again, one of my friends losther male cat last year- he just wandered away and never came back. Butshe also knows someone who's cat left, then came back after TWOYEARS!!!:shock: So maybe there is some hope.

Aww I hope you find your catty soon!There has been many situations where cats have turned up out of theblue in years gone by. That would be so sad if a cat cameback after 2 years to find their owners had moved You cant move anywhere!ok? lol

At the kennels where I use to help out, their pet cat ranaway. It came back sometime later heavily pregnant and readyto pop! lol And she was due to get spayed aswell. I swearthey must know or something.

Any way, I really do hope you find your baby. It seems like youreally love that cat

 

[maherwoman]

OH, something I hadn't thought of...you've gone the route of posters and calling shelters and such, right?

 

[samixXx]

yip she has was gone for 2weeks one time.
we had 2 kittens this year that ran away 9 times always together butwere never found together. i had collers made for them with the phonenumber and a bell and a safety clip that snapped open if they gotcaught up a tree.
we were forever getting calls from people that found them.
you should def try posters in local shops and the radio and of course the RSPCA could have picked her up.

 

[Michaela]

Thanks Linz, I do really love her, I love Moppettoo,gosh this sounds awful, butI've always had aslight preference to Mitten. She is so much friendlier, she loves to beheld, Moppet hates being held, he yells so loud when we lift him (buthe loves his belly rubbed)

And we got Mitten first. When we were getting them, we hadoriginally planned to just get one, but didn't know which (there werethose two and one other, but they decided to keep that one so thatwasn't an option) Anyway, weeventually picked Mitten, so wetook her home, but she looked so small and lonely, we just couldn'tresist going back and getting Moppet too lol

Rosie, we didn't put up any posters, but we called a few places but nosign, there isn't much hope of finding her at the shelters though, thenearest one is about an hour away, but no luck at any vetseither.Maybe, if she doesn't come back we will put someposters up in the local shops and vets, can't do any harm can it?

PS, Linz, we have no intention of moving!:rofl:

[samixXx]

i know what your going through but im sure she will come back.
the worst thing for me was when i was shopping i was standing at thecatfood section wondering would i buy 2 boxs or just 1, then i got aphone call from a guy who found her in a hardware shop :? lol i wasjumping around like an idiot

 

[Michaela]

LOL, what on earth was she doing in a hardware shop!:shock:I would have reacted like that too

Michaela and the girls:brownbunny:brownbunny:brownbunny

 

[samixXx]

lol them kittens were really crazy. another dayone ended up in a shop 30 mins from my house while a woman walkingfound the other up a tree and climbed up after it

 

[Michaela]

My neighbour's cat came back today, she's really skinny, but at least she's back, not like Mitten...:tears2:I miss her so much

 

[naturestee]

Michaela, when I was a kid our spayed 12 yearold cat went missing. I put up posters everywhere, and it's asmall town so everybody knew us and that we were looking forher. We thought she was dead. Over a month later,she showed up skinny as all heck and meowing at the door.Probably the best gift I ever got!

 

[Michaela]

I wish something like that would happen withMitten Naturestee, she still hasn't come home, it'sbeen overa week now.

[Michaela]

Still nothing, we really don't think she'll be back. :tears2:

I might be getting another kitten, though, because a greyonehas landed on my friend's doorstep, it's really really small, and theyaren't sure whether it will live, but if it does we might be gettingit. It looks like someone just abandoned it there, there is anotherone too, its black and fluffy, and a bit bigger, they think it might bethe mum, but they haven't caught it, the grey one is in their house.

I haven't saw it or anything though, this is all just through text messages. Well, let's hope it lives! I'll keep you updated.
