Our best friend Rupert has gone missing. We let him out in our enclosed garden while supervised and noticed he was roaming the neighbors at about 930 on Monday night. He was doing his usual thing and would never go far. We could always get him back inside.

I thought nothing of it and about an hour later we jiggled his food and called but no sign. We went out to look but still nothing. He did this about a week ago but returned at 330the next morning so i was sure he would return.

Rupert is 5 years old, microchipped and neutered.

I woke up around 1130 and was worried so i did a round walk to see if i could find him. I then continued this search every couple hours. Its almost 2 days now, and im devastated and in pieces, as is my partner. Last night we took about 40 leaflets displaying a colour picture of him and put them through letter boxes. On my walks yesterday i managed to speak to several neighbours and there have been no sightings. I've contacted vets, microchip company, and the council. I've sprinkled litter and left my jumper on the garden gate. We left food out but i think this is pointless because even though it had all gone this morning, this was probably one of the many cats in our neighborhood.

Words cannot describe the loss i feel, not knowing if he is alive or injured is overwhelming. Can anyone share some of their experiences? Or maybe just some advice and perhaps a hug :(

If he is essentially indoors, he may perhaps just hide somewhere...  If you go and seek, dont forget to seek also at night, where it is calmer, he dares to perhaps both listen and go out, AND he hears clearly your voice. And dares come forward to you, as it is quite.

Observe, such a scared cat does not always come forward, atlhough you are near searching and calling... So you must go around even several times...

Proceed on seeking. As long as you do seek, other people will also bother and seek. When you end seeking, they dont bother as much.

Try to get some kids in the searching teams, kids are good at looking in bushes, cellars and such, where adults never go.

He may be closed in somewhere. Say, he found a cellar and someone did closed this cellar upn him...

Good luck!
