Hi all,
I have been searching for my lost indoor cat for basically 48 hours straight and am running out of ideas. Temperatures are as low as 17f/-8c at night and today it is snowing lightly with about 4in of snow forecasted.
She is 1.5 years old, spayed, and has never been outside before.
I have 4 neighbours each about 1/2 a mile away and the snow is about 2ft deep so I think it's unlikely she would have gone there. I am on an old farm property with lots of abandoned outbuildings, piles of junk, trees, etc. I have looked everywhere I can get in to or fit my phone camera in to and haven't found her but have found a few strays (that I have already seen around the property). I believe all the strays are unspayed females.
I haven't put up signs because of the distance from my neighbours but I am thinking about slipping a lost cat notice in their mailboxes.
I have been leaving food out for her and watching the window or hanging out outside waiting for her all night. I've also left out some blankets she sleeps on, a box with a blanket, some dirty laundry, her litterbox. The strays are coming for the food but no sign of my cat. I think she is probably scared of the other cats (and everything else) and don't know how I can get her home.
The door has been open wide enough for her to slip through since she went missing.
I have read so many articles telling me to get out there and look for her and I am so tired after 48 hours but feel so guilty stopping looking for a second.
