    Autumn went outside two days ago, and I haven’t seen her since. My pseudohusband (who’s in danger of getting a pseudodivorce if he doesn’t find my cat) let her go outside before I could take her to the vet for her well-kitten check-up, on the mistaken premise that cats can’t stay indoors all the time because it’s unnatural. I had let her out a couple of times before, but these were supervised play dates with Tommy (who now likes Autumn). I even sent Tommy to look for his little sister, but no luck. I hope nothing happened to her. If she comes back home, I’ll never let her out of my sight again.

    Oh, Vicki, I’m so sorry. Have you put out flyers? Have you checked with all the neighbors? Is there anyplace that she would go when you let her out before that you could check? I’ll be sure to say an extra prayer for you and your baby Autumn. God bless.

    That’s awful! Have you tried neighbors, announcements, night patrol and feverish prayers? Two days – she may be stuck in a tree or got lost somewhere. When cats panic they seem to totally lose their sense of directions. 🙁

    I pray for her safe and quick return.

    It is so hard when one’s best effort is undermined by the ignorance of others.

    I hope Autumn is safe.

    I hope Autumn returns soon with a playful “Did you miss me?” look on her face. Sending you and Autumn the TDK white light to lead her home. {{{hugs}}}

    Hey Vicky, what a manic few days you’re having, catching Prettygirl and (temporarily – think positive) losing Autumn. I’ll be praying for her safe return, please keep us up to date xx

    Sorry Vicky, I’m muddling up you and Susie – blame lack of sleep (I partied hard last night, and am paying the price!) – hope you have some good news to share with us on Autumn soon. xx

    Vicki…it might sound corny…but maybe if you put Tommy in a carrier & set him outside.If she hears him cry,it might bring her to him. It can’t hurt to try it.

    Vicki, I’m so sorry to hear this! I know how much you love Autumn. She may just be exploring her new territory and will come back when she has had enough. Do put out flyers, though, and keep checking with the local animal shelters. And tell your boyfriend that indoor cats are perfectly happy as long as they have enough stimulation. Hope she shows up soon.

    Vicki, I have no advice that hasn’t already been covered here (by individuals and in links). Put out food, call at dawn and dusk, put out flyers, etc. I hope Autumn comes home soon.

    The big, blonde ape wants to compensate by getting me another kitten. What he doesn’t quite understand is that I love Tommy and Autumn as if they were my children. Autumn’s not just an interchangeable kitten — she’s my baby. Even if one day I actually do have children, my cats will still have a special place in my heart, and I will teach whoever I bring into the world that animals are wonderful creatures and our job on Earth, other than glorifying our Savior, is to take care of His Earth and His creatures. Unfortunately, it appears that children learn how to treat animals from people they admire (yes, I have to bring up that detestable Michael Vick). That is not to say that my boyfriend is cruel to animals; he loves animals, but as he grew up in a different time from me, when animal welfare was not talked about so much, he was just absentminded when he let Autumn out to play with Tommy.
