my boy has gone missing :(

My wonderful Mushu went missing over a week ago, he seemed happy and healthy and vanished suddenly. Now I know this may sound mad, but a few nights later I was outside it was very late and I swear to God he was there Sat on the shed roof. I went up to him, stroked him called his name but he wouldn't come down (i was stood on the bench to reach him)..... I would have picked him up, I normally would have but that night something stopped me. He just stood up walked to the edge jumped down into next door and vanished..... I even went to the front of the house and there was no sign which itself is weird as we have walled gardens and he could only get out that way..... I can't shake the feeling that it was him but, and this sounds crazy, he came to say goodbye.... That I didn't pick him up cos it was his spirit. Has anyone else experienced this? My other cat is pining for his friend and I'm devastated.

I am truly sorry to hear about your missing boy.  Is he neutered?  If not, he could be out and about in search of a mate.  Has he ever gone missing before?

I do believe in seeing spirit.  I hope he was giving you a message that he would be back soon. 

If you believe he may still be out there, have you posted any fliers or searched for him?  Here is a link to some ideas when a cat goes missing.

You don't sound crazy to me. You sound blessed.
