Hi,
I had just recently moved to a new home when my cat got out 6 weeks ago. Unfortunately my old home was about 50 miles away.
My cat was spotted after 1 week of being lost and he was spotted about 4 blocks from my new home. Then after that it's been like he vanished.
Does anyone know if since he was in the area after 1 week, he'd still be in the area after 6 weeks? We have had food and clothing and his litter box and toys out ever since he went missing. I am starting to wonder where I should be searching for him. I just expanded my paper ad to include the paper of where I used to live.
Also, I visit the shelters often and I have come across this kitty that I am getting attached to. If I were to bring it home, would that ensure that my cat would never return just because of the new cat smell that would come with the new kitty?
I by no means want to replace my old one, I am just falling for this new one and would love to give it a good home. Then when my cat comes back, I'd have 2 cats. Any advice on that? If it will definitely guarantee my cat to never come back, then I will not get the new one and will continue to do what I'm doing for mine to come back.
I have also heard that if you get a new kitten after your cat is lost, then your cat will show up really soon. Is there any truth to that? I have heard examples of it a few times but am not sure of any scientific facts that support it. Like does your cat smell something new and wants to investigate so comes back?
Also, 2 weeks after my cat got out I got married then was gone for a week on a honeymoon. There appeared to be signs of my cat around our house that week we were gone. Since we were not there that week will my cat come back eventually (since it appears he was able to identify our house)? Or will he be mad and never come back since we weren't there for him when he was there?
Thanks for the advice! Many blessings.
