What are some hiding places for kittens?

Where did you haul the tree? Could he have gotten back in the tree and been hauled off by accident? I would notify my vet, and other vets if your vet doesn't do it. I'd also notify the local shelters. Do you have photos of the kitten? I'd take them to my vets/other vets and to the shelter. I'd also have the kids go door-to-door with a picture to let the neighbors know you're looking for the kitten. I wouldn't give up just yet. It took us two weeks to find our boy cat... Good luck, Lilwonders!

if i was you i would look everywhere. my mums old cat went missing for days, then one day my dad was gardening and heard a noise and opened the shed and she was in there. she wasnt hiding but had gone in there, fell asleep and my dad had locked the shed without realising she was in there

Other than the suggestions I made, I don't know what to say other than to go to wherever you took the tree if you haven't already. It just might be that he was in the tree and you didn't realize it. I definitely wouldn't give up, not for quite awhile actually. There was just an article in our local paper about a cat that had been missing for over three weeks and was safely returned home. It turned out someone had taken him in and later recognized his picture that had been put in the paper. Good luck! Annie

I wish I could make a suggestion - kittens go up and down, so look in trees or under houses/sheds/whatever is around where you live. Taj, who was grown when this happened, spent a week in a tree because a dog scared him up and he couldn't figure out how to get down, without encountering the dog again.

I am sorry about the kitten he could be inside the closet or in the basement or in the garage he most likely in where there are plastic paper or some where he can't get out.they like boxes and blankets and warm places so I still check the house and the garage "GOOD LUCK" I hope you find your kitten. please let me know if you find him. cd

They say that the best time to try to hear a cat as well as to call a cat is at night around 9 oclock, as at that time most people are indoors as well as there are less noises that are going on.They also say to rattle or bang a tin of food or the cats biscuits and the stand and listen,this way if a cat has been locked in a shed or has got caught up, you have more chance to hear the cat as well as the cat hear you calling it in for food.Do not give up, as if he has got out he may still come home if he is in the area and can hear you.Good luck, my cat came home after 3 weeks of being missing.

I put my granddaughters kitten outside yesterday because she was climbing the curtains! She is about the same age and I don't think she ever left my front porch! She just waited for the door to open..........I also haven't seen her climbing the curtains anymore!!! I would go back and check the rooms again. Especially if you have the door shut. I have had our cats get themselfs shut in a room, we have looked for them and after a while found them. Possible when you looked before he was asleep and you overlooked him. I thought the school was a good suggestion, also neighboring children. My daughter has 5 'stray' kittens that have always stayed on her porch where she feeds them, until they heard the grandkids out doors here playing and they came to play too! So maybe he got outside and heard kids playing(do you have a park nearby?) and joined them and they thought he was a friendly stray and gave him a home! I would check door to door with the neighbors, especially those with kids.

Bottom of a trash can if it has almost empty, A shoe curled up asleep. Up high in a cupboard or bookshelf. In a dresser or desk drawer left open. Have had kittens hide in all those places. They like places that are warm, dark, small, cozy but where they can see everything at times. Or dark place, try behind fridge and freezer too. Hope you find him. Let us know

Kittens can curl themselves up into the most precocious positions. nearly anywhere or anything can quickly become a hiding place for them.

It's good to read your discussion because I had a cat before and it was like yours as what you had described. Cats are unpredictable sometimes. My cat was not outgoing but once he was out of sight at home, I asked everybody and they didn't notice after two days my cat went home. Neighbors said, my cat went out for happy hours with other cats. I don't know if it's true. I'm just lucky it went home.

Hun, i'm so sorry to read that. I know how i felt when my cat was doing nearly the same when he was on similar age as your cat. I had problems when he was 9 months old, one car over him and then cats found him and scratched him a bit. It was in their period when male cats are looking for female cats. Mine was indoor too, but we allowed him to go our to take walks and when that happened i remember that his back legs were broken and cats were trying to beat him a bit. I was scared that the result will be bad and we went to the home of our vet to check him. Few days after that i walked with the cat for vet clinic and they made surgery to his legs, so he to be able to walk, but i still remember how it was when he couldn't move. After that accident we started to let him go out but only if we can see him. Next summer my silly went out and found a place to watch outside cats in one building between our garden and the neighbors garden. The building was old and we couldn't go there to take him home, he just didn't want to come. I was so afraid that something can happen, because he doesn't have habits to deal with outside cats. Here we have a lot in our country, usually they are hungry, people care for them in their gardens and when it's the period of them to do stuff male-female, they become very cruel. I remember second incident with mine, his front legs was scratched again, both legs. We took him pills, i found way to give them the pills and soon after that he was o.k. I don't know what to say, about the ideas where you can look for your cat, but i know that if he is not gelt, may be he is looking for female cat. I hope it's that way, usually male cats don't eat, don't sleep, don't do anything of their normal habits when they are in their period, they just want another cat. Mine is gelt, so i got no experience like that, when their period comes and they walk our for days.

kittens like strings, small soft fluffy objects to play with. they usually like to be in small confined areas. I would say the best way is to put some food on a large squeeky toy. when the kitten goes for the food, you will hear it coming. if you have a backyard, then look in the backyard. look for dark/ dim places as they tend to like them such as allyways.
