I have a feeling Daisy is not coming back...Yes. Go back to the original routine you had with Daisy. Daisy did get lucky that you were able to get her spayed! I guess that turned out to be a good bite for her and for you, even though it was stressful for you both at the time. Her life will not be filled with the stress of trying to keep kittens safe and fed or of constant pursuit by male cats. I would not be surprised if “boyfriend” is still keeping her company. I saw that with cats here.
Thank you for your reply! Your kitties are so cute!Try not to be worried! I know that feeling and it’s very hard. I have had them go missing for much, much longer but return. Do you see my avatar? I had a mom and babies that I called “The Gingerbread kitties.” The Mom was here as a kitten and I had tried to rescue her during a storm but after I got her, she vanished so I couldn’t even get her spayed! She was so young that I was terribly worried. Then, one day I saw something dash into the spot where she had lived during that storm. No way! Yes! It washer and she was all grown up! She also had three babies. They were living in a little building that I began to call the Gingerbread house. Two babies were Calico and one was a ginger tabby. Mom was Calico too. I started working frantically to get mom and babies. For weeks they got closer and closer to me. Each day I looked forward to seeing the littlest girl guarding the door of their gingerbread house. Then one morning, they were all gone!! I saw absolutely no trace of any of them. No food gone, nothing. I kept writing on the thread about them. I think everyone had grown attached to them since I put up their photos every day when I saw them in that little building. I thought that something must have scared them away forever. It was true that they had gotten scared but it was not forever.Every day and every night I had searched for them. No sign! Then, suddenly, the kittens reappeared but no mom! After some weeks the mom did come back. I finally had the Gingerbread kitties back. Where had they been? Idon’t know but they were all fine. They must have been eating somewhere else because they were all okay. They returned to the routine we had before and all ended well. Don’t give up. Cats are the very best at survival and at hiding. I actually discovered that the mom had been watching me for a while before she returned. I was only a few feet from her when I finally spotted her again for the first time. If she hadn’t run at just that moment, I still would not have seen her. It took a little time for her to get over being scared but she did. Daisy is probably very nearby. Keep up your routine of putting food
out at the time she would have been there before. She may be coming around at different hours because she got a little nervous but you can try looking for her after dark by using a flashlight. Cat eyes reflect light very well. If you see her boyfriend, look around because she may be close when he is there. Give her time.
There is a feral cat here (Semi feral, he lets me pet him while he eats) who shows up every day for about a month and then disappears for six months. Daisy will know how to take care of herself and she will know that she's back in her home territory. She could be close by, just laying low for a while.Has anybody had a cat some back after longer time than 48 hours? I guess I have to move on and focus on kittens... Just feel so bad about this whole thing
OMG! Mama Daisy just came back today!!! Very unexpectedly too! I just came to the patio and she came from around the corner... There we met! She looks healthy and rested. Probably was tired from kittens before... I fed her and she just doesn't want to leave now. She was seating close to me while I was having my tea outside... I feel so much better about this whole thing. She doesn't seem remember much from the bad days we had together. I am so happy! Just wanted to let you guys know, we are OK and still friends.
