Have you had a cat just vanish?

13 years ago

My beautiful black cat, Midnight just vanished .

I have had her for almost 2 years. She was a stray cat that appeared on my deck on evening and became part of our family real fast. Once she trusted us and would come in the house we found out she was expecting too. We turned her into a pet real fast and she was a loving cat in no time. She had 6 babies and we found homes for all but one and I kept her. We got her and her kitten both fixed.

She always wantes out in the morning and would come back home every couple hours to eat and come in and be loved on and stay for awhile and at night she would always be home between 6-7 for the night. Then a week ago Monday she was out side at 10 am and I haven't seen her since. We live in the country and I have looked every where for her and called and called and ask all the neighbors and no one has seen her. I haven't seen any voltures anyplace eiher. Has anyone had a cat dissapear like this and show back up? I am just heart broken and can't give up hope on her returning home. She was such a joy to us.

Thanks for reading this and I hope someone has some encourging words for me.

I am still hoping for a happy ending.. and I am, too!!!
It can happen.. Our 2-year old cat went missing once for TWENTY-FIVE days.. he even survived a freak heavy snowstorm (14") on April 1st.. not a joke. He reappeared one morning (early) for his breakfast. We would always leave food & water on the porch. 5AM.. I get up and the bowl was EMPTY. Stuck my head out, and here he came running.. He had lost weight and looked somewhat unkept.. but he was FINE. I must have woken up the whole neighborhood with my scream.. of joy!
So, yes, sometimes there are happy endings. Don't give up!We had put flyers everywhere, made regular visits to the shelters, knocked on doors..roamed the neighborhood 3 times a day (more on weekends).. He never told us where he went.. but we imagined he got locked up in a garage as he had done twice previously to chase a mouse or squirrel.. Don't ask me how he survived (mice?) but he did. In our neighborhood, people used their garages as storage areas, so some did not often get open.
So please ask people to check their garages, or any tool sheds they may have on their properties.

I know you won't give up on Midnight, and I hope she will surprise you one evening at your doorstep begging for her dinner. In the meantime, I'm sending you my best.. and please let us know.
