Put some Food out on the porch;

*LOOK* EVERYwhere - in and under everything in your yard.

Talk to ALL your neighbors - take along a good picture of Buddy.

Print a copy of the photo and Leave the photo with the shelter workers.

Spend some time outside *Calling* him in a friendly, happy voice.
Do that morning, noon, and night.

Buddy ~ Please come HOME - Meowmee misses you!

Phred had some very good advice so it bears repeating. I agree that you shouldn't give up hope just yet. Our former neighbors cat was missing for weeks and weeks during a very cold and snow filled time several years ago. I had thought there was no way Peanut could have survived, but she did and appeared on their back porch one day. I'm hoping the same will happen with Buddy.

OMG Esster, That is terrible... . Please don't give up on Buddy; he may be hiding somewhere, or not being able to get out of where he is. Keep asking your neighbours. And no, you are NOT a bad meowmie!!!
BUDDY COME HOME, PLEASE!!!

Oh, of course, you are feeling terrible, but please, please don't blame yourself.

Phred is right........food on the porch.........an item of your clothing........and talking to all of your neighbors.

Esster, years ago I went on a vacation and when I returned, my neighbor who was taking care of my kitty said she hadn't seen him in well over a week. I didn't even unpack my suitcase. I started going all over the neighborhood and called and called him.

I found him, strolling around someone's back yard. He came to me and I was so relieved.

I know that Buddy will show up and you will be rejoicing soon.

You will have my prayers that he shows up soon!

Esster, don't blame yourself. Follow Phreds advice and keep looking for him - also in places you don't think he'll fit! When all is quiet around, there's a better chance he'll come forward. Late evenings is sometimes the best time!

He went missing for several days a while back, didn't he? He may have gone for some more adventure. Hopefully, you'll find him in good health very soon!

Good luck!

Esster, please, please don't blam yourself!!

Look everywhere for Buddy and keep your hopes up. My cat Cassie has been lost 2 times before, once she was gone for about a week and she found her way home(she was sleeping in the back of my dad's pick-up and when my dad turned about 5 miles away she jumped out of the pickup and ran into a field, we searched for her and people on snowmobiles even looked for her and we still couldn't find her but one day before school she came walking down the road ) another time a lady that used to work at a pound about 200 miles away called our house and said that our cat was there we didnt believe it, she had been missing for about 3 months and someone had found her and called the number on her tag. We drove the 200 miles and sure enough my cat was in her living room. She said she was going to keep her, (cassie is a siamese) because she was soo beautiful but then she thought about how she would feel if she lost her cats and someone kept them, so she gave us a call...

Thank god for all the wonder full people out there, lets hope Buddy is safe and will find his way home!

EssTer, I'm so sorry about Buddy but please don't give up hope. I just pray that some kind soul has taken him in and he's been well looked after.

You are NOT a bad Meowmie. These things just happen sometimes and you've gotten some really good advice here. Please keep us updated.

I'm so sorry. But don't give up hope! And please don't blame yourself. It's not your fault. *hugs*

[mina'smomma]

I'll keep a prayer that Buddy will return safely. Please keep us updated on his return.

[moosmom]

Please don't give up hope! My LilEli was missing for 5 days after falling out of my front window. I looked all over the neighborhood with no luck. One night I came home and he was sitting in our back yard!!! He'd been staying in the basement doorway the whole time!

Good luck honey!

[EssTer]

thank you a lot for those nice words...
I've been looking for Buddy when ever I have free time.. I always go outside especially in evening and call for him... I've been said about Buddy my neighbours, so they know he's missing...Omg.. I really miss him

[Cinder & Smoke]

{{{HUGS}}}

Don't give up!

Keep *calling* for him;
and when you can, *GO* to the neighbours' and *call* for him
at their houses, too. He might not come to them calling him -
but may respond to YOUR voice.

Please come HOME, Buddy!

Oh no Liga!

I somehow missed this thread.
I really have no clue what to say. I hope your sweet Buddy comes home to his mommy. In no way are you a bad one either!

Just checking in to see if there was any news on Buddy.

This is a story that rg_girlca told me when Kally ran away~

I don't know if you heard the story about the time our Mittens went missing, so i'll tell you a short version of it.
We figured he had gotten out when someone was putting the garbage out. It's not the first time he has done that, but within an hour he would be back home. Well not this time. After a month, I figured we would never see him again. But on the 48th day that he had been missing, at 2 in the morning, we heard this cat meowing outside our bedroom window. I thought, no it can't be and low and behold, it was our Mittens. Skinny, full of fleas and some minor injuries that were all taken care of.


Just Keep the Faith...
