FAO anyone who's had a cat go missing...advice please?
We've got a house cat who is 1yr 10 months old. She's never shown any interest in going out before and backs away from open doors.
However at 11:30pm last night (07/07/13) she escaped through a window we forgot was still open.
She's clueless about the outside world and is a pretty small cat too (petite long haired tabby).
Has anyone here lost cats before (especially indoor only cats) and got any advice that worked for them? We've looked everywhere and found nothing and are obviously getting increasingly worried now.
We've notified microchip people and vets etc, putting posters up tomorrow and have told and searched gardens of our neighbours.
Help anyone? We're running out of ideas :(
