I'm so upset right now I'm about to cry. A few years ago my cat bolted out the door chasing after another cat. We looked and looked for her. Two months later after pretty much giving up hope I found her behind our townhome near starved to death. We had faithfully put out food every day (we always did for strays anyway as there were ALOT of strays there). I'm so sick to my stomach thinking of her out there again, starving or being hit by a car.
We recently moved to our first house. My parents and brother came to visit, along with their dog. Now my cat just doesn't care for other animals, but she's been darting outside for days now anyway whenever the kids go in and out and I kept having to get her. She is fixed so it has nothing to do with being in heat. One of windows in my family room doesn't have a proper screen yet and I've been using a small screen that comes in and out during the day. Last night as I was closing the window I guess I forgot to actually close the window.
I removed the screen and shut the blind, but left the window open. When I woke up there was white and tan fur all over my porch. My cat is black and brown tortoiseshell. I guess she must have went out the window to chase this other cat away. I haven't put any food out here as I haven't seen any strays anyway. I feel so bad!I made posters and we walked around the neighborhood leaving them with people. I've went outside calling for her at least a dozen times. She always comes when I call when she is inside. What else should we do? Any ideas? I want my kitty back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The image in my mind of how skinny she was last time I found her is haunting me.
She came home to us yesterday.
