Missing Cat, Warham/Seymour Road: Frank is home
UPDATE: Frank is home. Thanks to everyone who responded. I've really appreciated your support
My 12 year old homebody cat, Frank, has been missing for two nights. Since he rarely leaves the garden these days, let alone miss 4 meals, I am getting worried about him.
He was last seen Monday night about 9pm in Warham Road. My garden is near the Passage. In his younger days, he was known to explore gardens on Seymour Road that back onto Warham.
He is unwell these days and recently got into a bad fight. He has a large chunk of fur missing and some bad scars on his flank. Since he refuses to wear a collar and he looks a bit beat up, someone may have thought he was a stray or feral. He does have a microchip though.
Please could you keep your eyes open for him and let me know if you spot him:

Really sorry to hear this. I'll be very surprised if he's strayed as far as my hood so can't usefully help, but really hope he comes home soon. Must be awful for you.

Oh no, not Frank!!! I'll keep an eye out. We can go cat searching together one night if you want, Erik's still not back, so am one cat down. bring his food bowl with some food in it, and we can go rattling it around, he should know the sound. Also, if you have a litter tray, rub your shoes in it before you go out (horrible, I know, but spreads scent), and also empty your hoover bag in your garden, spreads familiar smells. None of these have worked for me, but it all makes sense, so worth trying! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Thanks Anette. I'm still hoping that he's just got comfy somewhere and forgot the day/time but I hope no one has taken him in as he's a poorly boy and should be at home. I don't have a litter tray but banging the food bowl which is quite a distinctive sound and usually brings him running is a good idea. Have phoned round vets/shelters this morning and put him on the Pet Register. I suspect he's not far away but something is preventing him from finding his way back. Spoke to a very kind woman at Cats Protection too. Of course, he's quite old and ill and maybe won't come back, but the last time I saw him he was licking the bacon grease out of a frying pan in our kitchen before making good his escape, so I still hope he's just got sidetracked by something nice.

Liz, go out late at night, if he's a bit disoriented and scared, he'll be coming out when it's quiet. Take the food bowl. I did that when Lily went missing, was rattling her favourite toy up and down the passage at midnight, like a proper nutter...
It's only been two days, so you have very good odds of getting Frank back. Try going door to door, Warham and Seymour too. Ask people to look in sheds, and ask them to do it while you wait. Be the crazy cat lady. If it helps getting Frank back it's worth it.

Frank has found his way home. He had somehow got out the front of the house where he is not allowed to go and gone for a walkabout. He must have lost his way. I searched out the front so heaven knows where he got to. He's come back thinner, v hungry and a bit mucky and oblivious to the hugging and tears (mine). I'd like to thank you all for your support which I've really appreciated, but especially to Anette whose advice I was just about to take when I heard a very loud mewing at the front door and there he was.

Liz* Thanks for one of the most exciting recent 'lost cat' posts with a warm fuzzy ending :-)

Thanks James. You should have been on Twitter, I'd got half the country looking for him. He is, of course, oblivious to all the worry he's caused.

p.s. I look out for your Erik when I'm out and about. I'm still hopeful for you.

You are one of the lucky ones.. :o) But as I always say - 'Cats will be cats' and they are inquistive hunters.
All I can suggest for the future is that if you decide to get another one later on .. then go for a female.. they tend not to have the 'wanderlust' and prefer staying near to home.
The males have that instinctive 'have to spread it around' in them.

He's got nowt to spread, but hopefully he's satisfied his curiosity about what's outside the 'forbidden' front door now. I searched front gardens on our road for him. Gawd knows what he's been up to. He's keeping it to himself. If he'd been younger and fitter, I'd have been less worried, he really should know better at his age :)
