Help!!!! Daisy is missing!!!!

@artyjill  I've heard that with indoor cats that get out for the first time there is a five day threshold. Five days is how long it takes for them to get hungry enough to come out of their hiding place and start trying to find food. If you don't have a trail camera and there aren't a lot of other cats in your neighbourhood you could try this: Get a largish cardboard box, lie it on it's side and put some of her favourite food in a dish in there. Put some double sided sticky tape all around the open mouth of the box. What ever goes in there to eat will leave some fur stuck to the tape, so you will at least be able to see if a cat the same colour as yours came to eat.

She's probably not that far from home. She'll look for some thick bushes to hide in or a shed or woodpile that she can get under. Put a couple of these cardboard boxes with tape and food out near any likely looking spot and leave them over night. Them smell of the food should draw her out to eat.

Good luck. I know how hard this is for you, just don't give up.

No good news, it makes me feel worse the longer it goes on. I see pictures of her running to me and every time l look at the window sill l see her showing her tummies for tickling. She used to sleep on a rug in the living room since it got warmer and when l woke up to go to the loo she was awake and would run to me. I also her her running the whole length of the apartment.
A neighbor said yesterday  to me 'you won't see her again'  it really knocked me.,
Today had lots to do as my laptop  blew up and took my home phone with it Nealy lost all my food n the freezer but just got it back.
Just going to have tea, its one oft those weeks, just wish she wasn't so scared as l imaging her hiding and frightened

Stupid woman. If she didn't have anything nice to say she should have just kept quiet. Ignore her.

Thanks, 5 days and its so lonely days, l was always talking to her so days seems long. I went and put notes through doors but a lot had high steps so l just had to throw them in he porch.

Daisy, come home. You are loved and missed



Praying and sending positive vibes for you.

I found out who was taking the food, it was the only other cat here is in this walk. She must have slept in as a carer saw her at 9.30 eating it. I will look for a large box and try it. Its 6 days today. It gets worse each day not knowing whats happened and every day l think of her  so scared. She would scoot if l moved and when the door bell went she couldn't get out the room quicker.

I cannot get on the grass  were two bushes are at the back because my wheelchair is wider than the path and a lot of people round me don't like cats but l will find someone to help even if its the friendly postman,

Thanks for your help

I really hope you can find someone to help you. Would your son be able to help out?

Don't loose hope. There's still every chance that Daisy will come home.

More vibes for today.   Thinking of you and hoping for some good news, every day must feel longer and longer but we are all willing her to come home.

Do you know the people that this cat lives with? Maybe if you explain to them that your cat is missing and ask them if they'll keep her in for a few days Daisy might get chance to come out and eat. Or, if they don't want to keep the cat in all the time they might just let her out during the day time so you could try the food in the box trick at night.

How about hiring a pet detective to do all the work for you? The better ones have lots of trail cameras and dogs trained to sniff out lost cats. They're a bit expensive but it might be worth looking into.

.I don't know the people with the cat as there haven't been here long but  l went roun and she said they don't let er out at night just after her meals . The keep her beautiful well groomed so there going to look around for Daisy.

I am in the UK and we dont have anyone looking for cats when there lost .

I think what had got her to run was that she had been watching the birds at the window and l have a lot coming to be fed. I have had a safty lock put on were anyone who comes has to press a button  which rings next to me in the room and l speak to them and let them in if l know them. So the carer who l had buzzed in must have have left it open and left the hall door open as well. l knew in the past if l  looked out the door she used to be so scared that she would shoot into the bedroom . If anyone buzzed the door she would run a mile, she had not got to going up to people and would stay in the bedoom if anyone came she didn't know.. But in the last week she started sitting in the hall to people she knew so she was learning. I had got her from doing nothing to letting me stroke her even her tummy and she spent the day on the window sill just behind me.,

Try these links. They may be able to help. Don't give up Jill. There's every chance that Daisy will find her way back to you

Come on Daisy - find your way home

I have got in touch with Animal search UK and they have people in my area so am hoping that brings good news.

They will be able to get to places l can't with my chair. I can't get to the garden behind me because the path is to small for my wheelchair. I tried to walk but l can only go  four steps. I got in touch with the police but they don't have lost cats.

That is positive, I hope they are able to find her.  It is good to know there are people around who can help. 

I'm so glad animalsearch.uk are able to help you. Hopefully you'll be reunited with Daisy soon. Don't lose hope

Come home soon Daisy

Any news on Daisy?

No news at all, my mind is working over time seeing her hurt ect with it being 10 days. Can't put food out as a cat up the road is eating it and normally wouldn't mind  as its a beautiful cat not long moved here. Have had to bag her toys up was looking at them all the time but the kitchen is worse as l got  her food in bulk. To try and keep my mind on something else  l bought a wild bird feeding station so have 34 sparrows to watch, its like looking at naughty toddlers fighting over food and knocking each other into the bird bath. Daisy watched them all day so in a way if she does come backwards they might remind her as there's only myself and neighbor feeding them,

I'm so sorry Jilly. Don't lose hope though. I had a cat return after a month of being lost, and others here have had cats return after even longer. There's still every chance that you and Daisy will be reunited.

Hurry home Daisy. You're greatly missed

I feel so very, very bad for you, hun. I also am staying positive and keeping up with vibes that Daisy will return. I know how hard and lowly each day must be that she is not found. Hold tight and keeping up those vibes for Daisy's return. :cross:

Still thinking of you and Daisy, and hoping for Daisy's safe return
