My gorgeous Birman, Harry, is missing:-( He's been gone since Friday and I've just written notices to deliver to the houses around us tonight. Mr S has driven around and he doesn't seem to be in a gutter anywhere so I am desperately hoping he's in a shed or garage or even shut in someone's house while they are on holidays.

Does anyone know how long fluffy babies can survive locked in somewhere? He's not the chunkiest of cats at the best of times:huh:

I just want him back! My big cat has virtually left home this summer (since we got the kittens) and although I am sad about it I have to respect what makes him happy but my spoilt little boy would never willingly leave home for too long and always comes home at least once a day.

Postive cat finding vibes please:cheer2:

Hi there,

Have hope, we lost one of our cats in that really hot heat in July he disappeared on the friday and because of the heat we gave up a lot of hope by the monday and then tuesday bang in he comes skinnier but well happy to be home, he had probably been nosey and someone had gone away for the a long weekend. Hopefully this what has to your baby! My vet told me that they can survive for atleast a week in normal temperatures. Cats are very resourceful.

Thanks! I'm just folding the missing notices now to put through doors.

I do believe he's stuck somewhere rather than gone altogether so am desperately hoping someone fnds him soon.

We did all the notes and stuff and our's came back as OH was in the garage looking for a staple gun to put them up with. Sometimes they wait till you've made lots of effort, as if to prove how much you love them and then they come back and act like they only went out an hour ago.

Good luck x

Hope he turns up soon. A few years ago one of ours managed to get locked in a neighbour's shed for a week and he was none the worse for wear, so try not to worry too much. Sending lots of positive vibes for a speedy return.

HE'S HOME:ellie: :ellie: :ellie: :ellie: :ellie:

He was exactly where I thought he was, shut in the neighbour's house. He obviously set the alarm off (thank goodness) and so their tenants next door tracked them down in Scotland and got the keys and found him.

He's a bit traumatised at being locked in to a house with a constant burgular alarm for 24 hours and so cross and flumpy but absolutely fine.

So glad they found him as the neighbours are away for 3 weeks and so he would have been a very sorry little boy.

Thanks for all your support:grin: :flowers: :cheer2: :ellie: :choc:

Glad he is home Spritzer, one of our cats was missing over a week when they managed to get in a neighbours house before they went away. You know what they say about curiosity, when she finally escaped she almost threw herself through the window to get in her own home

And cats are supposed to be clever creatures :lol:

BTW I love Birmans and would love to have one of my own, you lucky thing

Thanks everyone:grin: Birman's are gorgeous but not blessed in the intelligence department....

I hope this will teach him a lesson about being nosey and also that it is quite cheeky to just invite yourself in and get into other people's beds:lol: I understand he's there quite often. Luckily he is beautiful, friendly, clean and cuddly so I doubt many people would object to him visiting.
