    How long has he been gone? Cats do that, the little buggers. THey come home! I had an indoor cat who ran off in the woods at my parents house, only to return 4 days later, with ticks all over his eyes! I was worried sick, feared the worst. Another time, he was outside and wouldnt come to my calling, but eventually he did, days later, emerge from a bush next to the house. For some reason, cats like to be outside despite our panicking/. Youre doing all that you can do, keep calling his name, shake bags of food or treats, etc. Keep a water bowl on your porch, maybe a blanket or towel for him to make a bed at night. Hoping for the best!

      Sam came home a couple days later, after worrying us to near death. He slept all day and seemed really glad to be back home. But, he still cries to go outside but, the wife, who almost had a breakdown when he didn't come home, says " He's an inside cat from now on". Thanks for your post !

    Being a cat lover, this breaks my heart :( ive had my kitty for 12 years, and when i first got her she ran away, for a couple of days, its happened alot until recently shes no longer allowed outside. But she has always came back. Cats have a good way to take care of theirselves though so im sure your kitty will be okay. The only thing you can do is wait.. but never forget there are so many amazing kittys out there waiting to be loved so never give up hope. Btw my cat loves to have conversations with me :)

      Read the rest of this post for the outcome,which turned out good. My cat Sam,is a rescue Siamese mix with blue eyes who "talks" to me all the time. We got him as a companion to our rescue dog BG. BG so loved our neighbors cats that we got Sam for her, mostly. They get along great. Thanks for your response.

      Thanks ! A friend suggested I put his litter box outside because he would be able to identify which direction to head to reach home. I put it out last night 4/29/12 and he showed up this morning. Don't know if he'd of made it anway but, no telling. Except for eating once in a while, he's sleeping all day. It must have been a harrowing experience for him. I know it was for us.

      I did go to the site you recommended but couldn't find anything on how to find a lost cat. However, they invited me to write my experience and I mentioned that I put the cat's litter box outside and he came home the next morning. I wound up joining wikihow.com and later took a "tour" of the site. With the new knowlege aquired from the tour, I found the list of things to do to find a lost cat, and then found that the list included putting out the cat's litter box(uncleaned). Sam is back to normal today (5/1/12 and we now are a comlete family again. Thanks for your responce to my querry.
