I had this cat.
He disappeared over a year ago. But I can't get over it. I always believe he's still alive somewhere, but I just can't find him.
I loved him sooo much. He was the best pet I ever had. Cuddly cuddly, silly but brave. So many stray cats have come and gone in my backyard, but I just completely stopped being able to feel any sense of attachment to any of them.
It's already been a year plus, but I still end up in tears every time I think of him. And I feel extremely guilty about it, because if I didn't 'fall sick' last year, if I didn't neglect him for a few days, he would probably be still around. What if he's alive but has become a skinny, starving cat (he used to weigh 5kg)?
If he would come back home, I wouldn't mind giving up 50 years of my life.
I miss my cat so much and my heart aches so much. What should I do?

it ran away, not because you did not take care of it, but it's @ one point of it's 9 lives that it needs to go somewhere far far from it's owner as it loves you so much that it cant bear to let you see it's final moments on earth.

But he was only 3 years old!
When I picked him up, he was on the brink of death, thin to the bone and stuck under the hot sun, too weak to move. His fur was all in patches too.
Then I brought him back, smelly and all... housed him in my doggie's cage. He became best friends with my dog and was so kind to her - even though she always liked to hump him, all he did was just to walk away. He only scratches things and never people or animals.
From a bag of bones he grew to become an obese lardball who loved to stroll into the living room and collapse into a pile of fats rolling around on his back. So cuteeeeeee!
And now he's not around anymore and I don't even know what happened. -
I'm serious.
I'm very serious.
This thread is not meant to be a joke...

post on stomp, best if u have peekture.

^^ from other forums.
I am sorry. The answer from what I know is yes. When animals are in pain or dying, their instinct is to hide so that predators won't sense their weaknesses and hurt them. It is a self protective instinct that concides with their death.
it's quite weird asIn all liklihood, the owner of indoor-outdoor cats will eventually face the sorrow of having a cat turn up missing. However, the chances are (for good or bad) that your cat did not run away. Cats are very territorial (even the neutered ones) and will defend their territory at all costs, and if driven out by another alpha cat who is bigger and meaner, will seek safety indoors (if allowed that option) before running off. The truth is that the chances are more likely that a cat has been unwillingly removed from the area, injured, or killed.

Over a year already...Originally posted by sLeEpWaLkErInG:post on stomp, best if u have peekture.
And I didn't do enough to look for him except walk around the neighborhood multiple times...
I could've put up notices or asked the neighbors, but in the end all I did was to hide under my blanket because I was sick... -
cats have this roaming nature in them if not properly domesticated.

died already la... or being taken by some1 .. cmon la.. just a pet.. even a pet comes and goes.. get over it and move on ..sigh.. understand ur pain but hoping for another year is just not a wise thing to do, wherever it is now, it might be happy and still alive.. for you.. move on

I miss my cat too. In feb 2005, He passed away from kidney failure. Since then my family has learnt that eating canned cat food seems to be linked to cat deaths because the vets had concurred the same observations in other cats.
Poor cat. -
my poor niece.. you were ill then...
and the cat.. most cats have a wanderlust in them... they are never truly anyone's...
he's probably having the time of his life somewhere else..
we miss the pets who have shared a bit of our lives... just be glad he shared some time with you.. you gave him your love and lots of good things to eat, and he gave you his time, companionship and probably loved you right back too
remember that and remember him fondly -

Pets are friends! They're not 'just' pets.
That cat was my friend, my soft toy, my source of comfort when I was sick or unhappy. -

Only time will heal your broken heart
For your cuttie who suddenly departs
Live your live day by day
Slowly your heartaches will fade away
For the goodness you have done
The Force will ensure it's now in some loving arms -
Cats dun really have masters... Move on.

Ah Lau where are u when mookie needs you @ this point of time..

I fed the cat and gave it water (or my mom would help me out)... but that's all I did...Originally posted by Stoat:Did anyone feed or provide water for the cat while you were 'sick'?
Usually I would play with it but I think I kinda ignored it for that week...
Thanks all... yeah have to move on... but still feeling sad... I dunno lar, I can't help thinking it's still alive somewhere and someday I might find it.
I had two cats actually, but the other one was not so attached to the family. It disappeared before my fat cat did... but a few months later we discovered it near the house, and now it belongs to a neighbor who now calls it by another name.
But whenever I pass by that house and that cat sees me, it still mews and walks towards me.
There was once it was inside the car porch unable to get out because the gate was closed, but it kept reaching out with its paw. -
Ahhh my heart is breaking into a million tiny pieces all over again.

it's a meow meow .... -

I thought it was part of their nature to disappear? (And I have the impression that they are born-ingrates. ) My family used to keep stray cats in the house but each time, after a few months or so, they would ran out of the house and vanish from our sight. The last one we kept tried to "escape" and even managed to get to the first floor (We're on the twelevth) somehow for a few times, but we always managed to find it hiding at some corner of the void deck until its last attempt.
