The gf's Cat Ran away

[Larry MacDonald]

When coming home from a weekend trip, my gf's cat escaped through the door as I was coming in with my stuff. I didnt bother chasing him down right away since i was just focused on unloading the car. After an hour, i went looking for him and he's nowhere to be found. I looked since midnight and again this morning with nothing. He didnt answer to his name when she looked around.

-He escaped out in the neighbourhood (we live in a house)
-He's not an outdoor cat,
-he's got the survival instincts of an xbox kid
-girlfriend is upset
-the gf is smart enough to distinguish her cat with an identical looking one picked from the SPCA

any success stories? any tips on getting the cat back?
thanks

Not sure why unloading the car was more important..

Call the vets in the area.
Call the humane society.

You really should have gone after the cat first. That being said, every cat belonging to a girlfriend of mine has resulted in nothing but headaches for me.

For whatever reason it seems as though so many girls think it's a great idea to get an animal that lives up to twenty years when they themselves are 19 and move around a ton. If you can't afford to put your cat in a cat daycare while you go to Vegas/Mexico with your girlfriends, you probably shouldn't have a cat.

There should seriously be a ban on all single women below the age of 30 acquiring cats. The worst are my male friends who've been stuck with cats because their ex-girlfriend wanted one or because a girl they liked's cat got pregnant. Hey buddy, accepting the multi-decade commitment of a cat is not going to encourage a woman to sleep with you. You'd probably be better off if she gave you herpes.

Put food outside and hope he comes back
Check under decks and in garages of yours and neighbours houses.
Leave garage door open with some cat toys inside.

Cats will find there way home you just have to make sure when they do they have acess to it

Best post ever

Rent the movie born free and buy the poster that say if you love something set it free if it comes back its yours if it doesn't buy a new one.

I don't know if putting food outside of your house is a good idea, you'll end up feeding every other stray.

Do everything is the second post except for the food thing, but chances are, that cat is gone.

If it was a dog it would come back, a cat probably not.

Dont feel too bad,

My friend accidently hit his girlfriends cat....and then went on to help her put up missing posters.

Good Luck!

There's something funny about keeping an animal that wants to escape from you. One of my dogs is a bit like that. Sometimes I wonder if she has stockholm syndrome, since she doesn't try to escape anymore.

[burnin_vernon]

We had a cat go missing for 6 months and then returned. You never know, I guess.

[jammies]

"After an hour, I went looking for him..." I would downplay this part of the story when telling the girlfriend.

The homing instincts of some animals is amazing

[HPLovecraft]

When she has the door open, scream at her that the cat just ran out. She'll blame it all on herself. Problem solved.

This post should be in the A-hole thread.
