To day we found out our boy cat Bubba got out through a window. He has been in the house his whole life. I'm so glad we didn't get him declawed bc at least he will be able to defend himself. BUT I can't find him. He is kinda a dume cat and I don't know if he can find his way home. I got the cats a few months after our son died. They have helped us deal with our deep sadness so much. I just can't lose him. I need him so much and he needs us. What ever can we do if he doesn't come back. The people around here shoot cats. We have a mean guy that lives next door that killed all our pet bunnys and I know he would kill Bubba if he can. I'm so upset right now.........All I can do is pray that God will bring him back home to me....

I really hope that he comes home soon, he is probably just out investigating things or he is that scared that he is hiding somewhere, he really probably has not gone too far...

Oh, honey., don't cry. Bubba will come back. I will pray for you and Bubba. Are you sure he isn't hiding under the bed or got stuck in a room somewhere? Make sure you check everywhere. He will come back when he is hungry and he needs your love and attention.

I'm sorry to hear this honey. I am thrilled that you never declawed him. It is inhumane to do so. All you can do is pray and hope. I will pray for you and him too. God bless you sugar.

I'll be praying with you. It is so painful when a pet is lost or stolen, or accidentally runs away. Try to think positive, he could make it back safe and sound. : )

I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope you find you cat soon! My cat was lost for a day a 2 years ago and the way I found her is that I put her food bowl outside. I heard her eating at the bowl and was able to go out and get her. You might want to try putting his food outside.

We HAD a neighbour like yours and our family cat was fired at with an arrow .! she was missing for 3days and we constanty kept calling out for her, she came home.! We rushed her to the vet's and she had to have a major operation, I'm confident that Bubba will return they do have nine life's as our Cat shouldn't have survived and she DID .! DONT GIVE UP put up postings as we were about to do and this will make your neighbour aware of his/her bad actions if they have done any harm to Bubba,tell as many people as possible to make them aware of whom is harming your PETS there's so many people who'll support you through this as there's WAY MORE PET LOVERS than the one's that harm pet's .! OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU AND BUBBA .!

*Big Hugs* I have 6 cats of my own and I would go bonkers if one of them got home. Have you tried putting up posters? If you can afford it, I would put a chip into your cat (I'm not sure if it's painful or not). It can be lifesaving, since all you have to do is track your kitty to his location.

Oh, I too love cats. I can understand your worries. Check with all ur neighbours. since this is very important for you, just go and talk to your friends and neighbours. They might help you find bubba. Don't lose faith. Try the best to find him. I am sure that you can find him. He should not have gone very far. The best thing is talk to children in your area. They are the best people who can find the missing cat. I pray that your cat be safe and you find him soon. God bless.

I hope that your cat comes back soon. Cats have a great sense of direction, so he should be able to find his way back even if he hasn't been outside before. Hopefully he will stay clear of your neighbor in the mean time.

I am so sorry to hear that your cute cat is gone. Cheer up, friend. Don't get sad. Let's imagine this way---your cat is now old enough to make friends with a girl cat. It is very natural for a male cat to chase a female one. Maybe they are happy somewhere doing what they want to and will later come back to you, his majesty. Be happy, friend. He will soon be back with you.

I hope he returns. You have a mean guy next door that killed your bunnys? Oh my god, what kind of place do you live in? That is terrible. I'm curious as to why your cat has lived in the house his whole life? Cat's belong out side, they need to be out side. I could never deprive my cat of the natural environment he is meant to roam in. I'm sure your cat wouldn't be far away. But the fact that you said; people around there shoot cats, is not a good thing.

I am sooo sorry to hear you lost your cat hun. I am sure he is fine... probably just hiding out under a bush or something. Have you posted lost signs with his picture on it? I hope he returns home to you soon or you find him soon hun. ((HUGS))
