by which i tra-vel
Jun. 11th, 2013 07:46 amMy cat has been missing since Friday night. I should wait until it's been five - ten days to feel really hopeless at least, but he has FLUTD/FUS. I am very worried that he's blocked (can't urinate), because cats can go septic and die within the day when that happens.
I can't think of what else to do. I would physically search the neighbors' yards but I don't have permission. If I leave food out, ants swarm it. If I use bug spray to deal with that, I'm afraid the chemical smell will repel Chorong from the food as well.
I've put up and passed out flyers, went to the city animal shelter and two vets offices, and I walk around the neighborhood. It's not enough but I don't know what else I can do.
Worst case scenarios
1. He has already died.
2. He is dying.
3. He is injured/trapped/spooked so he is in survival mode and unwilling/unable to make noise or come out when he hears me calling for him.
4. He has wandered further than the neighborhood.
5. Someone took him in and does not know he isn't a stray/does not want to give him back.
The last one is included as a worst case scenario out of selfishness. It means we won't see him again.
On Saturday night we heard meows that sounded very much like him down the street, but we didn't see him. None of the neighbors have called either.
What am I going to tell my brother if he comes back from music camp on Saturday and we still haven't found him.
