Dusty is missing - she's back!

To my knowledge, Dusty has not left the backyard in weeks/months. When I went to get her inside this morning she is not there - no where in the yard. I'm worried because she isn't well and I didn't think she had the strength to climb the fence. Send good vibes please. I'm desperate.

Oh no! I'll move this to Cats SOS for you.

Thank you.

If she wasn't well why was she outside? Is she a stray? If they don't feel well, they go to ground and if they have regeneration powers, they will sleep and get better. If they don't, well then the opposite can happen. She is probably close (depending on what is wrong with her)

www.lost-pets.org can give you tips on what to do.

Lots of that you find her asap.

Hope you find her soon.

Many vibes that you find her soon

She was a stray when we got her 6 years ago. She was an outdoor cat then, and as much as we've tried to make her happy inside, that just isn't her choice. She hasn't left the backyard in the past several months, and I figured she just wasn't strong enough to climb the fence anymore. She spends the better part of the day sleeping on the patio furniture or under a bush in the yard.

She has CRF, but she has been eating really well and drinking plenty of water. I just don't know what to think at this point. I'm praying she will find her way home, and I have no idea how she got out.

Come home Dusty

that she returns safe and sound!

I'm sending lots of and hoping Dusty comes home today. My RB kitty Snowball had CRF also so I'm familiar with the condition. You didn't say how advanced Dusty's condition is, but CRF doesn't necessarily mean a cat is feeble and too weak to climb a fence. If she isn't happy being kept inside, you might need a special outdoor enclosure to keep her safe.

If you haven't found her by nightfall, an LED flashlight, even the cheap one's, will illuminate a cats eyes at pretty great distances. If she's close by but laying low, it might be a good way to spot her.

Really hoping she just pops back in on her own though.

Excellent advice ....

Sending lots of vibes that way to find your Dusty

Come home Dusty!

Oh no not another one gone missing....I hope your cat comes home soon

Everyone's prayers and vibes must have worked. Dusty just came strolling up to the front door like nothing was wrong. Surprisingly she is dry, and we had a real doozy of a thunderstorm earlier this afternoon. Anyway she just ate like she had never missed a meal. I wonder if she wasn't in someone's garage, and when they came home from work she got out???

I was about to post the same thing. Maybe just because it's Spring? Very heartbreaking.
