TCS vibes much needed please - Smudge is missing- she's home

Thread Starter 
My little Smudgey cat has been missing since Sunday night I'm in Australia visiting family, and am feeling incredibly useless being so far away.

DH has made posters which he's plastered everywhere, we've notified the microchip company, the shelter, vets etc. We have friends stopping by during the day to look for her, and DH put 2 traps out last night but only with dry food - he has tinned food in it tonight.

I really don't think she has any survival skills which is what's worrying me the most

DH has turned the house upside down multiple times along with a friend who's staying with us at the moment.

I just have this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach...

Sarah, I just saw your posts on fb. I'm hoping that little Smudge turns up safe and sound asap.

Sending lots of vibes that way for Smudge to be found safely!

Also, not sure if it will help or not, but when your hubby goes to set the traps again today, have him put a little bit of fried chicken in them if he's able. (When I worked for animal control, we baited our traps with KFC chicken at times, and had a lot of luck that way since the smell of the food is strong and attracts them!). Keeping you all in my thoughts today!

Isn't she indoor only? How did she escape? Don't worry too much. Usually cats have more survival instincts than we may think. Sending many, many vibes your way!
Smudge, come home safe and sound!

Thanks everyone. Smudge is an indoor kitty - DH had a friend over on Sunday, and she let herself out since DH and a friend who's staying with us were cleaning up. The friend who let herself out may not have been necessarily looking for Smudge when she left. Smudge loves to try and sneak out the front door, so we always look out for her. That's our theory DH didn't notice until bedtime the next night that Smudge hadn't been all over him after he got home from work. She often will just find a hidey spot and have a good sleep - but when he checked all her usual spots the next morning she was still not to be seen

Don't forget to have him go look outside at night with a flashlight...it's really easy to see their eyes that way!

Also, I wouldn't worry about her survival instincts. I guarantee she has them Last week we rescued a cat in Joplin that had been been on her own since May 22nd tornado. She was indoor only, 4 paw declawed, and had her canines filed down (don't even get me started on how horrible that is). Point is, she survived, Smudgey will too.

Keep trapping. Use KFC, stinky can tuna and salmon. Just tell DH to be prepared for possums. They love KFC as well, but don't seem to like the fish.

for both you and Smudge. If it's any consolation. Last time one of my babies got out of the house when I was on vacation, she was lost for over 3 weeks, and I'd just about given up all hope when one day I heard a pitiful meow, and it was her! She's taken refuge under the house next door, and even though we'd called and called her day in and day out, it took that long before she finally responded. (she never went near our front door again, once we got her safely back inside) I'm sure praying you'll have a story like that to tell soon.
