My cat is about 9 years old and I put her out ealy this morning and she has not come to eat, etc. I have not seen her. this is not her normal routine. If she were sick do you think she has gone off to die somewhere. She was not acting sick. I don't know alot of information about cats or do they wander off sometimes for a day or so and then come back.

That depends on the cat. I know a cat that had run off to die in peace, but not all cats do that.

Some cats hide in dark places to die so its like your cat says its time to move on and say goodbye to the world.

My cat was 15 years old, healthy, never any problems, she was inside and outside. I could see she was slowing down and felt bad as I knew her time was short. Several nights before she left me, she would crawl up on my body and wrap herself around my neck during the night. I actually felt like she was telling me good bye. One morning I let her out and watched for a few minutes just checking on her and she seemed alert, so I returned to my chores. When I was just too worried, I started calling her and she always came when called. I

continued calling and walking up and down drive ways but I never saw her again. There wasn't anything we could have done but I'll always wish I had done something.

They typically do creep off by themselves when it's their time, unless something else happens to them first.

What are common causes for missing cats that are never found?

Cats often run away when you move house, as they become attached to their old territory more than its owners. Often they find their way back there, but often get lost or killed on the roads. Cats, especially tom cats, are known to go walkabout, and may end up run over. Cats that are ill treated by their owners will wander off to find another owner (which they usually do) or might find another owner for some other reason. Some cat haters deliberately kill cats that wander on to their property.


How can you tell when a cat is ready to die Or has a stroke?

Cats often will wander off into a far corner of the house or if an outdoor cat will wander off to a lonely and secluded place to die. My old Jade (20 years old) was laying quietly on our bedroom rug and I knew it was time to have her put to sleep. A terrible thing to do, but thankfully she didn't have to suffer. She was just old and I was lucky to have her for all those years. When cats have strokes they will become paralyzed down either the right or left side. Their heads may roll around as well as their eyes and the tongue may hang loosely out of their mouth. If you suspect your cat is dying or close to death please see your vet immediately. Sometimes (if the cat isn't too old) the vet may be able to treat the cat back to a quality of life or even good health. Talk to your vet and they will advise you whether your cat should be put to sleep.

What is cat gender?

Male cats are called toms. Female cats are called queens. This is why you hear the word "tomcat" so much, because they are male cats. Male cats often like to wander around more than the females, so you also hear about someone who is "tomcatting around" - it means someone who likes to wander around and visit lots of people.

Is your stray cat a feral cat?

Chances are that it may be, however there is a big possibility that it might not be a stray. For example, cats wander off to find prey, to find a partner or to join another colony of cats (for it is their natural thing to do) so it may not be stray. If there are cats in the woodlands or forests, it is likely for them to be feral. Big cats come from the wild, so there is not much difference when it comes to domestic cats.
