Hey!
I am worried about my male cat who is approx. two years and neutered.
Today is Saturday and I have not seen him since Wednesday night.
We’ve had him since April when we picked him up from an animal shelter.
My question is: Can male cats that have been neutered escape?
Do I need to worry?
I’ve been looking in the woods, along the road and I do not know where else to look.
He has both a necklace and is ID-marked in the ear.
Is it common for cats to get stuck, fall and break… and how long do they last in such cases?
I also wonder how far away I should look?
Hey!
Oh, yes there are many reasons why cats disappear when they are outdoor cats. The most common is that they are hit by cars, unfortunately, cats “own” the world and are not naturally afraid of cars.
Another common reason why they disappear is that they are chased away from their “territory” by another cat with a much higher rank, and then they do not dare to go back home again.
If you know where your cat is usually located, look in that area, also put up notes here and there in the store, on bulletin boards, wherever you can find them.
It can actually happen that the cat went to someone and was fed and taken in, call the house and check. When looking, it is best in the evening and at night because it is, after all, the cats’ time.
Also check if he may have entered someone’s garage or outhouse and been accidentally trapped.
Shout, then wait and listen for a while, shout again….
I sincerely hope you find your cat.
