Hi there,
I am new to the forum and have joined as I would like some advice about one of my cats (Highbury).
My wife and I got Highbury and his brother (Cosmo) when they were kittens about 2.5 years ago. They are our first cats and we love them and care for them both a lot. However recently we have been seeing less and less of Highbury. Right now I havent seen him since last Thursday evening.
Until about 2 months ago we made it a point to keep both cats in at night. We did not like the idea of them roaming the streets at night and worried that they might be at increased risk of being run over.
We changed our policy because a) it was starting to become a very hot summer and we had to have all of the windows open and b) we were worried that the cats would start to become tired with being couped up.
We both work but I tend to work from home at least one day during the week.
What should we do? How can we find out where Highbury is going and how can we get him to spend more time at home? Should we go back to keeping them in at night.
We have a feeling that he might have found another home but we dont want to accept that we have lost him as he is very dear to us.
Any help or advice from owners who have had similar experiences would be very gratefully received.
Thanks
