Hurry up and come home, Pete :(
Thanks guys. I just called the local vets and no one has seen him...thank God!
It is so hot right now and the last couple of days have had major heat advisories. I know he has got to be so thirsty. I can't help but cry when I think about that.:(
We are hitting the 110 degree mark with the heat index. It's hard on me to stay out there but I'm doing it anyway.
I don't think this horrid headache will ever go away!
Pete Pete Pete. Come on gorgeous boy get home. Your meowmie is just worried sick over you. Please get home !!!! I know you are scared but believe me little buddy home is right in your sights all you have to do is run for that door. Meowmie is waiting for you. You can be cool and pampered and comfy. So come on Pete. Get home !!!!
Pete please come home!! You are much missed and needed by your Meowmie!!
Lisa- Praying for you and that Pete comes home soon!
I am new to this, but I could not NOT reply to this... I am sure you are doing everything you can think of to do and you must not feel guilty. It was notyour fault it happened the he got out.
As a person who has lived with (and sometimes I think for) cats since I was 4 there have been times I've been waiting too. It is really hard. Usually they come home.
Now, there is something I recommend you do try and I've used it to call home cats that weren't even mine. (local people who had lost cats.) At a quiet time... late night or early morning is good, go out to a quiet part of your yard and start making the lost kitten meow. If you have ever heard it, you know it. It is a sad meow that is also rather demanding and kittens repeat it at regular intervals. It seems almost to demand that any cat hearing it answer. Once the cat answers you can get close. Pete may be too spooked to come to you and you may have to coax him in as if her were a stray.
If you know where your colony of ferals sleep you might check there. Sometimes they surprise you by taking in newcomers and Pete may be with them.
Good luck and good thoughts. And never give up hope. My first more-than-cat cat was gone for a year and then came home.
There's still hope for Pete, and I bet he's been someplace cool during the heat of the day, cats are pretty smart and resourceful when they need to be.
Please come home, Pete!
Keep the faith! Everybody, keep praying! This website might have have some ideas: http://www.petrescue.com/library/find-pet.htm
Prayers for Pete are still being prayed. Right now I'm also very concerned about YOUR well being. Pete knows who loves him and he's probably looking for you too.
Come on, little buddy. It's time to come home to your Meowmie!!!
Good advice you have gotten, Lisa. I have heard that if YOU go out in the back yard and front yard, and sit on the ground, take a book or something, and just sit....you might 'find' Pete. Running around, calling for him, is possibly going to scare him. The calmness created by you sitting in the yard, and every so often calling out for him, plus, the quiet of sitting out there, might help.
Good luck.
OMG Prayers going out that Pete comes home soon, very soon! PETE! C'mon! We're waiting!
More prayers for Pete and for YOU, too.
Oh NO!! I haven't been on in awhile and I just saw this. I am so sorry Pete is missing. Keep the faith. Prayers coming from NH! Please sweet Pete come home safe and sound. Meowmie and everyone is so worried about you!!
That's good advice. We always took Kuhio to our cabin and she would "disappear" when she saw us packing up to come home. Once we searched for hours and hours without luck. So, I sat down on a log and pulled out a book and started reading. Every now and then, I'd call her name. After about an hour, I turned and she was sitting right behind me! She'd probably been there for the whole hour but she wasn't going to say a word because she was having too much fun. COME HOME PETE!Quote:

I can't thank you all enough for all the support and suggestions. I'm trying them all!
I sat out for hours on the porch last night just talking. I know it may sound like I'm calling and yelling for him but I'm not. When I walk I don't disturb the bushs or shrubs I look under them and quietly talk to him. Whenever I had something fun for Pete I would say...PetePete real quick and he would get excited. I've been using that same fun tone as well as just quietly saying his name. Then I cry and quietly remind him that I have never called to him unless it's safe so please come to me.
I fed the outside cats the stinkiest tuna cat food that I could find. There is still plenty left on the porch and I pray he can smell it. He won't eat canned food but he always liked that tuna.
I finally had to come in for awhile and cool down. It's so unbearably hot. I got a little rest this afternoon so I can be ready to sit outside again for most of the night.
I'm going to check the links that you all have given me for any more ideas. Thank you for those and for all the ideas. I'm just torn up over this. It was so unexpected and preventable if I had done a better window check. I always check screens but I never dreamed the whole frame could come loose.
I'm not giving up and I'm still praying hard. I really miss him. I feel so helpless and alone even though there are still 11 adorable furballs here with me. It's amazing how you miss the one.:( :( :(

He will come home! I've had them missing from 2 hours to 6 months and they all came home again. Positive thinking coming from Australia!
Please come home Pete!!
This is the first post I checked when I got in....hoping for good news. It's been 24 hours..or close to that? Does he ever respond to treat shaking? Praying he comes home tonight so you can get some peace Lisa.

Have you tried sprinkling used litter around your garden...yucky I know, but your cat will recognise the smell if he walks by.
As previously mentioned he is likely to be hiding during the day and might move at dusk or dawn. So these are the best tme to search and call for him.
As he is an inside only cat, he is statistically likely to be very close to your home but hiding. If he is scared he might ignore your calls, until you actually find him.
Look under every bush, hedge, flower pot, rattling food tin might help too. Get all neighbours to search their gardens, sheds ad garages.
Is he particularly close to one of the other cats ? If so stick that cat in a carry case on your porch preferally meowing, this might prompt interest from Pete , if he is hiding close by.
Above all don't lose hope, being outside is not a death sentence. Cats are naturally attune to nature, even inside only cats quickly adapt to being outside.
Fingers crossed that Pete comes home very soon.
OMG!!! I haven't been on in several days, so I'm just now reading this. I am adding my prayers to all of the others, and I sure do hope you find him SOON! Hang in there, and don't give up..........
I'm just reading this now too..:(
I'll be praying for his safe return home. Many {{{hugs}}} to you.
