Our 11 month old Tabby (rescue cat) disappeared a week ago.

He has disappeared 4 times so far including this time. Two times, we were called by animal control services due to the chip implant. One time, he was roaming another neighborhood and we found him at our synagogue and carried him home. Later out we found that one of our neighbors said he was hanging out around a neighbor a few blocks away. This time though, it looks like he may be gone for good.

You can't tell me that this cat domesticated himself. (that %$#@* cat).

Did you make any changes in your household that may have upset the cat? I have a 7 year old cat that was tame (at least to us and the dogs, she hated strangers) until we built the new house 2 years ago and had the old mobile home hauled away. She hated the new house, and howled when I tried to orientate her to it (for weeks), so I finally told hubby it was her choice to be an outside cat and I wasn't going to continue to make her miserable by forcing her to come inside. She still came around to eat, but wouldn't even let us pet her any more. It really broke my heart that this happened, we were so close before that.

We are worried about her right now, as neither one of us has seen her in 2 weeks. We call her and she won't come, but her food gets eaten and it is in a spot where other animals can't get to it, so we just have to hope for the best. Although, she does live up to her name of Xena Warrior Princess B**ch, I've seen her beat up some pretty big dogs and so far she has managed to survive not getting caught by a coyote, so she may still be out in the woods somewhere and just ignoring our calls.

If the cat comes back, keep it indoors.

I remember reading somewhere that cats, unlike dogs, form greater bonds with a place, as opposed to other people. Maybe this comes from being solitary hunters, as most great cats tend to be, or the fact that most great cats also tend to roam over fairly large territories.

I know that moving can be a terrible experience for a cat.
