My Cat Left me :-(

So your cat went astray and you are so worried. Yours is a different story. My neighbor on the other hand brought and abandoned her two cats in the wilderness with their eyes all covered by paper bags so that they could not go back to her. She hated them so because they feasted on the the food she left on the table. I am not a cat lover because I dread catching asthma but I understand your grief over your lost pet. Unless somebody got your cat and kept it as his own I believe your cat can always go back because cats are pets with a very strong sense of direction. They can always return to their home even after traveling long and winding road provided their eyes are not covered. So I hope you can find your pet again and nobody got or killed it yet.

hi LK, I know how you felt maybe it's time for Ponchi to look for a mate my cats also do that but they come back after few days hope Ponchi will do the same. Maybe you can post some pictures in your place and put some rewards whoever can give ponchi back or whoever can give tips where he is right now. keep me updated

IMO is too bad of you knowing you lived near a main road yet leave a hole big enough for you to get in and not even think about the safety of your pets....shame on you! I also noticed you did not mention going out and looking for him!! Were you afraid of the dark or think you may melt in the rain!!!

Hi LetranKnight, It is really a sad news but I hope the Ponchi does get back to you. Though I do not have a pet cat, I can suggest you prepare some of Ponchi's fav dish and keep the door open... If nearby, Ponchi can smell the fav dish and return back

It truly is horrible when a pet runs away because one feels that they don't love us and it is just such a horrible feeling my puppy has gotten out a few times like when she sees a chance to escape she goes for it which makes me really sad.

Oh no Letran this is awful. I do hope that this time your kitty comes back and or at least is safe somewhere. Pray and hope that your kitty is safe.

I'm so sorry to read this and trust me, I know exactly how you feel! Please don't give up hope, he could still very well come home. Cats can be pretty darned amazing when it comes to finding their way back home. Also, please don't think of it as him "leaving you" because I'm sure that wasn't what he intended. Annie

No! you have to look for Ponchi. If i were you i will not stop looking for it. I do not know what is in me that i always see the cats that I lost. That is why my mother depends on me when our cats get lost, she knows that i will do everything to return the cat at home. I get used to it and deep in my heart i was praying that i can be able to see the cat that I lost. Anyway, is Ponchi smart? is he/she alert and memorize the road to your home? I have a cat and her name is Sega. Our troubled neighbors always kidnap her throw here far away places and she can be able to return home. If we do not see her at home for five days then we get the idea that someone tripped on her and she can safely return home after two weeks. If i can be able to look after my cats if someone is trippin them or doing them harm, i would do so, so that i will just slash the neck of someone who will do it, but unfortunately no, because I am in the hospital right now. I feel bad for you, but don't lose hope and still look for Ponchi. You have to do it before its too late.

I am sorry to hear that. Cats are different from dogs. You can walk out with a dog, but normally the cat doesn't like going out with you. My cat tried to "escape" from home a few times. And it also upset me. After several days, he didn't come back yet. But I still kept my hope that he would be back. And thankfully he really came back home. Perhaps after having enough fun, he would miss home:) Keep praying and I hope your cat will go home safe and sound. I love China

hello LK, Oh my,what a sad new this is. Where i am for many days that i haven't read this topic (ugh..head scratching eetttcchhhh) Okay...so,until now you little kitty witty is still not around ? I wish the wish you wish that kitty is back in your arms once again. Smile dearie little bro...kitty will come back soon...

Your cat may still come back. I was worried about mine also. She was gone for over a month. When she first left, we put up posters and called shelters and even put an add in the local paper. Nothing. After that long of a time with no word I had given up on her. At the time I lived near a highway also and was afraid she had gotten hit. One night she just came up on the porch and wanted in. She smelled so bad the other cats wouldn't go near her, and she had lost a lot of weight. I think she might have gotten locked in someones shed or something and couldn't get out to eat. It is only natural to worry, they are like your kids, but it might still turn out okay. I hope your story turns out as good as mine did!

Pray to God and guide your cat to come back to your house. I hope you could find him/her fast.

That would be scary. I used to be more scared for my animals when I lived in a town close to the highway too. I was always afraid my animals would get loose and get ran over. I live in the country now and don't worry about that anymore but I worry that a wild animal will kill them now. So far I've been fortunate on that part. I have had animals come missing but I think that someone seen them and took them. I hope whoever took them gives them a good home and doesn't mistreat them. Hopefully your cat will make it back home and if not hopefully someone seen it and didn't think it had a home and takes good care of it and nothing bad happened to it. Have a good week and if you want you can invite me to be your friend so I can see more of your topics so I can see if I can answer them or not.

don't worry about it, because cats can remember way back to your house. i hope also that your cat is in the good condition and i hope that it will come back.

I hope he makes it home OK...

Oh Letran! Poor Ponchi! You have to try to do everything to find him! Try to get pictures of him to put up where you live! Go look for him! Leave food outside your home, keep calling his name! I am so upset to hear this. I do hope he returns to you safely~

hi LK, cats can be very curious at times but surely ponchi is wise and "maabilidad". he will come back later when he starts getting hungry. i cant keep my smile now. youre like a father cat to your little ponchi. now i am seeing that wonderful side of you. have a nice weekend. ann

Hi, Knight. I did not know that you are an animal lover. Curiosity can kill the cat as the quote goes. And this time it applies literally to your pet cat. I hope nothing like that will happen to your dear POnchi. If she's just wandering outside and still in one piece , well, she will probably be back home. By the way, i think it is a mating season for animals like cats and dogs. (I can see stray dogs doing their thing publicly. THey have no shame at all. ) This could be the reason why your Ponchi was too eager to get out, to look for a mate(?) . If so, once she had fulfilled her lustful needs, she'll be running towards your home.:)

If Ponchi is still a young cat or a kitten, sorry to say but I think he has a very small chance of coming back, other than the danger of speeding cars on our streets which you mentioned, there is also the threat of roving bands of street kids that might had picked him up. Now if it were a mature cat , like my large Tom cat, he will be gone for days especially if it's mating time but always manages to come back full of scars probably from battling other male cats in the vicinity. Let's just all pray and hope that he comes back safe and sound

I know how you feel. My surviving cat also left me. She was my cat when I was still leaving in my old house. When it was demolished for a road widening, she did not get away. I found here crying and hiding beneath a fallen concrete wall. There were two of them. But the male one likes strolling outside. After the demolition, I did not see that cat anymore. The female was the one left. Then we moved to a new rented house. It seemed that my cat was very curious around the place. She began walking around the house. One day, I saw her trying to get outside the gates. I let her out for a while. After a few minutes, I called her in. Then, the next nights, she would attempt to get out of the house by climbing a tall tree which was beside the gate. She does that every night. Worrying that she might be lost, I tried to stop her from getting out. But she still tried to force me. And because I realized that she was not being lost, I just let her. One day, as I was walking outside, she also got out. She went into a gate with a high stair case next to it. My cat climbed the stairs and went exploring, when the twilight was near, I called her. But she did not respond. I just let her there but the night of that day, I saw her again. More days passed until the time I was not seeing her anymore. I attempted to find her everywhere in our village. She was gone I cannot find her anymore. Until one day, i found her. Strolling around a neighbor's house. I couldn't believe that it was her. I tried to call her while she was resting on a fence. She doesn't recognize me anymore. She was a grown up now. I tried to claim the cat when we were about to move to a new house. But I saw that the cat was very happy in there. I just let her live with her new owners.
