My dad called and said his cat is missing.
It sounded like he was crying.
He has not seen him in two days.
I told him not to let his cats outside its not safe.
It makes me so mad that people let their cats out.
I got amd at him and said I warned you but you never listen.
They have coyotes and everything there.
I grew up in that house.
I hope he turns up.

Does the cat have a collar with tags or any thing? Did you tell your dad to call the local animal control and any other shelters around to see if 1) the cat has been picked up/dropped off 2) to describe the cat in case it comes in? I also recommend Lost Cat signs. I'm sure he's tried it, but leave call the cat, shake some food, and leave some food outside. I know other animals might come eat it, but it could draw the cat back. I hope his cat comes back.

His phone was cracking up so I never asked him.
I am sure he called the pound.
He will call later tonight.
I will tell him to put signs.
I have no idea if they have tags.

He did not have a id tag.
He had a collar only.
I just gave my dad the phone number for the Spca in San Mateo.

You could check out this site: http://www.findtoto.com/
I'm not sure what it costs, but the network leaves a voicemail on the neighbors' phones. sometimes friendly cats are "found" by kids, whose parents also just assume the cat is a stray & they take it in.
A few years ago, Joey was outside with us on a supervised airing, & when DH was "watching" him, he managed to disappear. There were some kids hiking nearby and I assumed/hoped he'd followed them. Sure enough, after my ad aired on the radio, a car drove partway up our dirt road, stopped, and then backed away and drove off- a few minutes later, there appeared at the front door, a dirt-covered, tired, stressed Joey!! The people didn't even come to the door for the reward.
Needless to say, Joey has to be content with getting his airings in a large dog kennel attached to the house.
Sending major prayers and vibes that your father's cat comes home
Please try to be patient with your father - it is only very recent that the norm is to contain cats inside. He probably only wanted his kitty to enjoy some fresh air and sunshine. He's going through agony right now - experience will be his teacher
I only hope it's not too late for his cat

Sorry you haven't found him yet.
But it is much too soon to give up hope...I have seen SO MANY miracles when TCS sends out the major prayers and vibes.
anyone here remember the Miracle of Teufel???
http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...teufel+missing (went missing)
http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...teufel+missing (was found alive!)
or
when Cedar was missing & then came back:

Those were some happy endings - sometimes we just need to remind ourselves to remain encouraged & keep the faith.

C'mon fellow TCSers, let's keep the vibes flowing! Susan

i'm so sorry to hear this. I know it must be breaking your heart. I think id' just try to stay positive. At least he knows the house, and can remember where it is.

I feel awful for your dad. I know EXACTLY what it would feel like. I panic just thinking about it. But please remember, cats are fast. they sometimes slip through without us knowing.

Just keep your fingers croseed and make sure to keep us updated OK?

Oh no! C'mon kitty! Go home! It's warm and there is lots of food for you!

PS Maybe if he goes out and shakes a bag of cat food?


TCS vibes have worked wonders before, I hope they do now!
