Smitty's been missing for over 1/2 an hour. 😢
I got home later than I meant to & when I got in my patio I could hear him whining through the window. I forgot to latch the gate closed & when I opened the door, the brat scurried out. I didn't expect either of them to because I knew they'd be hungry & they usually wait inside...yowling at me.
The few times that he has wandered off, he always comes back within 10-15 minutes.
I tried wandering around looking but my body keeps crapping out on me.
His collar has a bell and he talks a lot which makes it easy for me to hear him but it's completely quiet out.
I finally got him microchipped last month...I just want him to come home. damnit. 😟
Fuck. He's been gone over an hour now.
I don't know what to do. I've gone out 4x's now but my hips and knees are hurting so much tonight and they're causing me to be unbalanced. Plus it's dark out.
Fuck. I'm scared.
@see_the_sus I really like Smitty from pictures you post!
Our cat always tries to escape at night, which we dislike because there are coyotes. We walk around front and back and down the street calling. Maybe 4-6 times. Then get ready to look once more, open the door, and he's standing there and trots right in. He comes back whenever he wants to.
May the 5th time you put on your shoes to go look be the time Smitty trots in.
@see_the_sus Our previous cat went out one night and didn't return. Our boy went to preschool and told his teacher, I don't have a cat anymore. So sad!
A couple hours later she suddenly turned up at the door, hungry, as though nothing has happened. We phoned the school so the teacher could tell him she was back.
If Smitty in his cat wisdom decides tonight is for play in the wild, I hope tomorrow he comes back asking you what all the fuss is about.
