One of my mum's cats did this, off for 6 days, mum posted in the local Facebook groups, put posters up etc and it turned out the little gremlin had "moved in" to someone else's house 2 streets away!
Literally 90 mins after I posted, Kit-Kat came home. God knows where he has been because he has lost a lot of weight in the 3.5 days he has been gone. He murdered the food we put down for him.
Just so relieved he is back. Cant wait to see the girls faces when they realise he is back!
Just ordered 3 tracking collars for the little gits, they're not doing that to us again! 😂🙈
We had a cat who did similar but was away for a week and came back very thin. We were told he probably went up a tree and couldn't get down or just got shut in a garage.
If that happens again, put unwashed clothing out on the line, some of their litter from their shit trays outside as well as the contents of the hoover. Domestic cats although like to give the impression they are utterly reliant on their human subservients for their needs, are very resourceful creatures and their sense of smell is incredible.
Word of advice as well, don't let them out after darkness hours or get a cat flap. Unless you want a (still live) seagul dragged through it at 1am or maybe a toad, a rodent, squirrel, mouse or rat, or a magpie, or a pigeon if you are really fortunate

I'd just read your first post about Kit-Kat going missing and was about to reply that we've had cats go awol for days before and come back safe and sound. Very glad to see that your lovely boy has come home. Given the timing, he was probably shut in someone's shed or garage at the weekend and they've only just opened it up again.

thats part of the reason why they was kept in for just over 3 weeks because we didn't have a cat flap sorted. We've got one into the converted garage come utility room and then one from there into the kitchen, so during the day they can come and go as they please then after 11pm, once they go out they are limited to the utility room because of the house alarm. Its also limits whatever they may bring in to that one room too.
I've lost count of the things they've brought in during the last year and a bit since we got them. Part and parcel of being a Cat Dad.
With our old cat Gangsta, she brought in a bloody squirrel. My wife couldn't deal with it so she left it on the floor for 8 hours until I came home to remove it.
I know we've only been in the house 3 weeks but we've got wild Bunnies in the garden too. I hope to god they don't go for them as they are far too cute.

The tiny little rabbits are perfect size for cats. Also display all the triggers a cat needs to take an interest in them. Rabbits are quick but cats are fuckers and good hunters, ambush predators

Hope you get a positive outcome soon
