I need big vibes that BW will find his way hom

We arrived at our new home in Omaha, and BW was pissed off. I tried to keep him confined and he just kept pissing and spraying everywhere. I let him out thinking he would come home and he never did. He is my outdoor buddy and I just rocked his world by making him move from his favorites spots at our home in gothenburg, to a new city.. I couldn't leave him there because that would have been abandonment... I know if he has the power he will travel home to our home in gothenburg.... I'm sick with worry.

OMG I am so sorry. How far away is your old home. I had a cat travel 13 miles when I was a child back to our old house.

It can be done. I will say some prayers for your guy! And many hugs to you. I am so sorry.

I am asking the angels to watch out for BW. I really hope you will him. If he travels back to your old home, is there someone there who will recognize him.

If he makes it to my old home it will be 250 miles journey. I am crying my eyes out so bad!! OMG I hope he comes back to me..

If he ever made it back to our home in Gothenburg he is a part of the neighborhood thugs. That's a long journey and he had a good home here.

Oh no news yet....

Try to hope that he found another grouup of cats close by to hook up with. Since he was a neighborhood cat, maybe he will find the same.

Prayers still for all of you in this sad situation.

We looked up and down the streets for him. He was so upset with us for taking him away from his area. I pray for his safety and that he will come home to us.

I am praying and sending vibes that BW is just somewhere nearby and changes his mind about trying to go back. And if he is on his own, that he finds the safe haven in the yard of a fellow cat lover that you so desperately want for him
As for your DH, it could be that inside he hates that you are hurting so badly, so he is just getting gruff with you instead As you said, he's usu. understanding. Maybe he feels guilty, in some odd way, that the move is his fault

I've walked and drove around the neighborhood and talked to several neighbors. I posted on craigs list and also put his photo and description on another site that sends me photo's of the cats brought into the Nebraska humane society in Omaha. I keep calling for him. If he would have given this place half a chance I think he would have liked his new backyard. I think my husband was so tired and stressed from the move that he was a little short tempered. BW is a very independant cat and he was a stray when we rescued him. I always called him my hobo cat because he didn't want anything to do with socializing or being an indoor cat. We gave him his choice and he only came inside when the weather was really bad. My cats drove him crazy. He refused to use a litterbox and only wanted his freedom. He was about 5 years old and unneutered when he limped his way into our lives. He was a Big 17 lb tom cat that ran the sewers of gothenburg. We neutered him but he never wanted to be domesticated. I do pray that he comes home or comes to no harm and finds another cat haven that will love him like we did. I feel so bad I took him from the neighborhood he loved so much. I am so upset about this because I don't know if he is safe or if he is hungry or hurt. It's the not knowing that is tearing me up so much. I've never had a cat run away like he did.

I am still hoping he will come home. I call him every morning and in the evening when i get home. I'm on a email that I signed up with petharbor that sends me photo's of cats that have been brought to the shelter. I am so torn up about this. It makes me wonder how many cats that are in the shelter have been lost from a loving home. I just keep thinking he must be so hungry and hoping that he isn't hurt or in pain somewhere. I know he is angry with me for moving here and making him leave his home and yard he loved so much.

I would say fully 1/2 the adult cats we get in our shelter have gone missing from a good home. When you get a clean cat that is in good shape, declawed, neutered, etc., you can only conclude that they are missed by someone.

We went to the humane society this afternoon to file a lost cat report and look for him. He was not there. I felt so heartbroken by all the elderly cats that were up for adoption that were given up by their owners. It makes me cry. Thank you for your kind words and maybe Hopehacker can send a miracle to us.

Oh sweetie, I don't know how I missed this thread - I was going to ask how things were going with the move.... and then just found this.

I can just imagine your agony.

If you have the phone number of any of your old neighbors, it is worth calling them to let them know. It is a super huge long shot - but cats have traveled farther to get "home" - and gotten there.

Just keep looking, calling, and putting food out. At the very worst, he sounds like a resourceful kitty, so hopefully he'll "please himself in" with someone who loves him if he can't find his way back to you or to your old home.

I am hoping and praying he is safe and has found somebody to care for him. I believe he is trying to find his way to his old home. My neighbors know BW well and we still own our home in Gothenburg. We have tenants moving in at the beginning of the month. I will have them watch for him also.

I was thinking the same as LDG. He is going home. Let the tenants know, as soon as they move in to be on the alert for him. It happens more than you think, as long as he is not waylaid along the way. In another forum I read recently of someone's cat who showed up after six months.

Is he microchipped?

All paws crossed here that you have word soon. The worry you feel must be almost unbearable. But..he is a mostly outdoor cat right? So he knows how to take care of himself. I think he is going home.


BW that your journey is safe.
