Nice story
I’m keeping my faith that hopefully she will show up.
Thanks for giving me hope.
My mother gave me the exact same advice.
Have done both with still no luck.
It’s very common for cats to wander a while and then come back.
LOLs!
There was a sighting posted on my towns local website with pics of my cat posted today.
Just got back from looking, no luck, going back tomorrow morning.
About 2 miles away, guy said he tried to lure the cat indoors with no luck.
Been a week now...
Thanks for the update and good luck!
Thanks for the update. A cat my husband had several years ago, left for over two weeks at one point, and then just sauntered back to the front porch one day. Kind of skinny and dirty, but fine. So, keep the faith!

A stunningly acute observation of cat behavior.
Cats control women; women control men; men are simply tools of cats to control the world for the benefit of cats.
We have a little notch eared tuxedo with one blind eye that ignores the name “Doc” but comes running from a hundred yards to the psp psp psp sound rendered as a high pitched whistle.
Doc digs chin and ear rubs but he’s not into laps, he likes company, hangs out next to your chair as long as you’re outside.
He lets us feed him mornings and nights and has a ‘cat condo’ house on the back porch along with various neighbor barns and porches he shelters and hunts in.
He hunts rabbits or thinks he does along the back fence.I’ve watched him do a long stalk, creeping from cover to cover trying too sneak up on the intended prey who sit unworried, munching our flowers or strawberries.Doc finally gets close, quivering in anticipation , makes his final rush aaaand the rabbits evade him effortlessly until he finally quits and drags his butt back to sit with us.
Our place is definitely his territory at least as far back as the shed and berry patch and around the back porch.
He defends it against interlopers 2-3 times his size with fierce yowls, blown up fur and hell for leather charges that put his opponents to flight.
He started hanging around the summer of ‘18, sitting with us out back, helping dig when we planted flowers, following us around supervising the gardening and yard work.
He also likes to watch us through the basement windows, following us from window to window.
He helps on grocery or flea market days by getting in the car and inspecting all packages and bags.
We tried him as an indoor/outdoor cat but he’s too feral, he wouldn’t confine himself to a litter box and if there’s any food he can reach is his, tables, counters, your fork...
He eats like a food processor grunting and chewing, snarf, nom, crunch, gulp...dropping food every where..
Anyway, a couple times a year he just takes off for an adventure and shows up, dirty and skinny, a few days or weeks later.So don’t lose hope.
That one cracks me up every time...
LOL! Remember the days when Vikings Kitties trolled here frequently.
My mostly outdoor two adolescent cats would leave dead rats and mice on the doormat, but they always took the birds and rabbits under the porch to eat.
I have had indoor cats, outdoor cats and indoor/outdoor cats. I was very sad when an indoor/outdoor disappeared a few years ago but then was found. A neighbor posted a year or so ago their indoor/outdoor was missing. That one frequently visited my yard and I had not seen him for about four days.
I looked out my kitchen window and he was in the room attached to the garage sitting on a table grooming him self. They have their own lives.
My two 3/4 grown cats would hunt rabbits as a team and catch them too. After a year or two the dark tabby disappeared but I found his body a few days later in the woods with blood on it. He was probably hit by a car. Not long after the blond tabby also disappeared but was never seen again. This was in the suburbs.
On the other hand I found a beautiful Russian Blue kitten with a nice collar. No one ever claimed him. When grown he would push out the back door and then push his way in again the same or next day. We had to go away for 2 and 3 days at a time and he would come back, but after a while he came back less often and finally not at all. Think he found a better feed lot down the alley because several years later I saw a beautiful young offspring Russian Blue. This was in the city. So, sometimes hope is rewarded and sometimes not.
Where I live here in So Cal nighttime outdoor cats soon become dead cats. They’re the local coyotes’ favorite snack.
They preferred cute food! :)
