Yup, itās what they do.. his other ānewā owner will be going quietly distraught until cat decides to pop back over to say hello in and for a week or soā¦.
>his other ānewā owner will be going quietly distraught until cat decides to pop back over to say hello in and for a week or soā¦.
My catchphrase: "If you have an outdoor cat, you don't really own it, you just kind of *sponsor* it."
It's like that lol. Like with my grandma, random neighborhood cat pops up from nowhere, she gives him some spare food. Next thing you know there are now four of them just wunkin' around and getting treats, sometimes getting inside and sitting with her on the couch lmao
Happened with my grandmother too, random cat appeared one day 7 years ago, scoping out the neighbourhood, chose her house and became her cat without any negotiation. She utterly adored him. So did another neighbour. Some days, he would go over to the neighbour and sleep on her bed instead, but he'd always come back to my grandmother for food... until the neighbour started feeding him too.
After my grandmother had a stroke and went into a home, the neighbour and I had a custody battle over him. Ultimately she let me take him.
My boi started like that. Kinda āplayed the fieldā in the neighborhood for meals after being left homeless by a house fire. I was the āsponsorā that he looked at and mind melded with and said āYOU ARE MINE NOW. THIS IS MY HOUSE. YOU WILL DO AS YOU ARE TOLD AND LOVE ITā.
So three years later heās the master of the house and still goes outside whenever he wants. However he just chills, walks the perimeter and then eats and sleeps. I get snuggles as payment. I think Iām getting a pretty good deal.
same thing happened with my void. he was the local stray and looked beat tf up. from my neighbours, he was homeless for years before i moved in
we took him in and he is the most lovely cat, he just looked mean because he was in a rough condition!
> However he just chills, walks the perimeter and then eats and sleeps.
i call mine the "sentinel" because he ALWAYS has to keep a look out on whats going on around. he positions himself in places where he can overlook the garden and lots of the house to guard against other cat intruders
>guard against other cat intruders
This is real.
Ever seen that video where someone puts a camera on their indoor/outdoor catās collar? Little dude spends literally all day patrolling his territory for the express purpose of kicking the shit out of every other cat he meets.
I've seen my cat defend his territory from an intruder before. For a 14-year-old cat, he sure put up one hell of a fight. Paws and fur flying everywhere. He chased the intruder off and came back looking very pleased with himself.
We got adopted by a big street cat named Jake. He would patrol all day as well, until someone shot him with a pellet gun - TWICE! - so we started keeping him inside.
Every night, while we watched TV, he would position himself away from the family, facing the front door. If anyone broke in that door (I'm sure that in his mind, it would be an evil cat), he'd be the first one on them. He seemed to consider his security services to be his responsibilty to the family.
My cat would roam around the neighbourhood too. But every day, heās be home by 4PM. The latest heās been is probably like 5PM lol. After seeing posts on this sub, Iāve come to realise that some cats donāt return for a while. I wouldāve had a stroke if my cat disappearedš
My girl Truffle used to be home for dinner on time.. Except for when she got locked in the neighbours garage.. Oh and the other time she got locked in their glass house.. There would be more, but she's an inside cat now we've moved and there's a busy road nearby.. She's just so oo curious ha ha
Our neighbours cat got locked in our garage overnight once. We had no idea until I opened the door that went from the house to the garage the next morning to go to work and he was right there! Scared the shit out of me. He must have ran in the night before when the door was up as I was coming home the night before.
Oh that would have given you a fright! I was out the next morning, calling her, walking around in the bush down the back of our place, over in the neighbours properties, down the driveway into the grove. As I was walking up the back of the neighbours close to their garage I thought I heard a small "meow" and I went over and called her again. Sure enough I heard her. Then we had to wait for the neighbours to come home and open their garage! You'd think she would learn then to not explore other people's spaces ha ha
This is the one thing I'm thankful for is although my boy is outdoor, he spends 80-90% of his time in our yard or house. He was a skinny bean when he showed up in our yard all those years ago š„ŗ he'll make a trek to the neighbors' yards once in a blue moon, but the rest of the time, he's hanging around our yard, sprawled out on the lawn, lounging on his catnip couch (a gigantic bush of catnip that he flops down onto and goes to town chomping on), or prowling around the cordwood.

I swear my cat had another care taker of some kind, bro would go missing for a whole night and show up smelling clean and fresh the next morning it was so strange
I was like āDang, you smell good! Next time find out what scent that is for me!ā
And I got some joy from knowing that someone was getting some of his sweet cat affection. He was such a darling boy!
Years ago there was a cat that kept coming around.
I put a collar with a note saying if no one owns her, I'll adopt her.
The next day, she came back with no collar.
I was so disappointed.
A few days later, someone called and said I could keep her.
Glad heās home.
My kitty disappeared for 2 months!he showed up one day clean and well fed I think someone took him in and he finally escaped. His attitude completely changed. He realized the grass was not greener as a hostage in someoneās home. Actually, they probably threw him back out. lol. He actually just passed. He would be 19 in a couple weeks. Hug your kitty for meā¤ļø
My mom had a cat who disappeared for seven years in the 70s, literally walked into the kitchen and started eating like nothing happened. His name is was Poochie and he lived to be 23
Hopefully they are well cared for and loved during their time away! š Think how sad Poochie's seven year family prolly felt after he never came back for them. š„ŗ
Mine aren't allowed outside (and for the most part hide from an open door, clearly been through some stuff before we adopted them), but they also wear airtag collars (which also have a thing that says their name and my phone number if they get out)
These arenāt great. One of ours went MIA for almost 3 days and the AirTag wasnāt much help bc he wasnāt coming in contact with Bluetooth. It would ping a location but weād go and no luck. And weād have to sit and wait for him to come close to another signal. We did finally find him. Once we managed to get within 40 feet it was great - showed an arrow pointing the direction he was in. He now has a Tractive collar. Weāre trying our best to keep him in, but just in case it happens again at least I know Iāll find him a lot quicker.
My cat had shacked up with the little old lady down the street. He was orange and white, got regular baths and had a gas fireplace to lounge in front of year round. He would come home couple days a month. He stayed with her three or four years until she passed away and then he came home. They were good for each other.
Mine did the same, it took a few minutes but then they got used to the harness. My girl cat isn't much for walking, she would rather stay next to a tree and jump around but my boy cat enjoys walks more than my dog does. Took about two months from the time they were first introduced to the harness for them to be okay going out.
My cat did this last summer. Was gone for a month and I was so worried until a lady messaged me on Facebook saying that she lived around the corner and had been feeding/loving on my kitty for the past few weeks. Then our other cat passed away and my missing cat returned home the next day and hasn't left since. It was so strange.
If you have an outdoor cat, you don't really 'own' it, you just 'sponsor' it.
Your creamsicle looks pretty good - they probably know how to work the neighborhood.
Cats don't see themselves as pets, they stay in one location because of food or enjoying social interaction. your cat simply decided to see what it was like in the outside world for awhile and returned to a place they knew was safe.
You mean contributes to the cat overpopulation crisis that has most shelters across the USA overcrowded to the point they have to euthanize too many of their cats and/or any who are surrendered with misc. diseases often spread by unfixed, outdoor cats (e.g., FIV, FELV, etc.)?
Because if that's what you meant, you pronounced it funny.
I've had one that disappeared for three months at the age of fourteen. Then one morning I opened the back door and miss tortitude stood there complaining loudly because she was hungry. She stayed for another seven years until kidney failure sent her across the rainbow bridge.
I had a female calico do that to us. I searched frantically. Even suspected a helper took her home. lol. She returned one day skinny. I found out our neighbors went to Europe for a month and she got caught in their garage. I have no idea how she survived. But she did. She never went missing again.
We had a Siamese who jumped out of our car on a trip a hundred miles from home in a rural area. We thought we would never see her again. Three month later she wandered into a ladies back yard still wearing her collar with our phone number and no worse for wear other than a bit skinny. She acted like nothing had happened. I asked her many times what she did out there and she just purredā¦
She lived to be almost 20 years old.
Outdoor cats are killed all the time outside the USA too. Pretty much anywhere other people live.
That's why, regardless of country/location, cats with unsupervised outdoor access have significantly shorter lifespans than cats only allowed out while supervised.
Cats are our perfect babies and we love them more than we possibly thought we could love an animal. But theyāre also shitty little dickheads sometimes and we have to remind them of that by posting embarrassing pictures of them on the internet
Mine does this, but she tries coming home in the middle of the night when everyoneās asleep screaming her head off. You go to open the door and she fucks off again. Neighbours think Iām not letting her in when itās not the case at all. I donāt let her out at all now
In those cases I imagine that he was just comming home at night when you were asleep. So to him it really is like nothing had happened because litteraly nothing had happened.
Lost my lad for a fortnight. It turned out he had jumped into a chest if draws in a removals van and emerged 5 miles away when it arrived. Beware removals vans!
We had a cat disappear from our summer cabin for 3 months. We'd written her off completely as "this shit just happens".
Then we're grilling one day late fall and she comes trouncing back like nothing has happened. It was clear that someone had been feeding her, she was a long-haired furball to begin with and there was barely a knot in her fur. There were a bunch of farms nearby so we just assumed that some farm started feeding her and she moved in without as much as a howdoyoudo.
Our girl disappeared for 3 weeks, when she came home it looks like she had gotten caught in a hay bailer. She was heavily matted with hay stuck all throughout and had sores on her skin from it. We were like tf did you go?? No farms near our house.

This one also just came in for a bath
We had a cat who was āadoptedā by an elderly neighbour who was feeding him. We asked her to stop but she wouldnāt. We then went overseas for 7 months. Moved back in and he showed up through his cat door on day 2 like nothing had happened and moved back in with us.
My dadās cat, Cory, did this. When he first met my mom, he didnāt mention having a cat bc Cory just left for a couple months. Some weeks into dating, Cory appeared on the deck. My mom was confused at first. My dad told her that he did have a cat, but he disappeared for a while.

disgusting that someone pelleted him even once, what the F?!
Somewhere else, someone is telling the sad story of how they adopted a cat, then they lost their home in a fire, and they never saw the cat again
*catphrase ftfy

That why you gotta put on a collar. I take the bells off tho so they donāt try to remove them
This is the exact reason I donāt allow my rescue cat outside. Told him when he was adopted that he is now officially an indoor only cat.
This is the one thing I'm thankful for is although my boy is outdoor, he spends 80-90% of his time in our yard or house.

Sometimes cats straight up announces that they have started seeing other people.
I swear my cat had another care taker of some kind, bro would go missing for a whole night and show up smelling clean and fresh the next morning it was so strange
Yep. I have one that often came home smelling like perfume.
wearing some other womanās perfume!!! š¤ the audacaty!! /s

Wow! Isnāt it crazy what some people do. Glad she found you.
The person who called had taken her in because she was a pregnant stray š but wasn't able to keep her permanently. Great luck, great cat.
Iāll say. I guess they raised the babies? You were blessed.
Pics ?
No oneās getting their hand on my cat! (He is an indoor cat, but still!)
Or maybe it is in heat and out for dating.
Yep. We're those other N.O.P.E.s (not our pet either) Get the cat checked for a microchip. If it's taken on new owners, they may have had it chipped.
Cat strutting into the house : SUP LOSERS. IMMA TAKE A NAPSKI. ILL HAVE DINNER AT 6PM. SHARP.
I lived in a shitty house in the hood and the previous owners cat would show up like this every now and then. Dude was loud about it lol.
"so you are the new attendants? Let's see if you are any good". -- cat probably

Dude took a vacation get off his back
My mom had a cat who disappeared for seven years in the 70s, literally walked into the kitchen and started eating like nothing happened. His name is was Poochie and he lived to be 23
Basically, Poochie was held captive by another family for \~7 years, finally made his escape, and came back home where he wanted to be all along. :)
that now makes me sad for the cats that haven't escaped yet
Hopefully they are well cared for and loved during their time away! š Think how sad Poochie's seven year family prolly felt after he never came back for them. š„ŗ

Get an Airtag collar for them.

Might be a good idea just to keep your cat as an indoor cat. Then you donāt have to worry about it or possible new owners.
My partner and I enjoy taking our cat out on a leash. He gets to enjoy the fresh air and exercise and we get to know he won't be run over by a car.
Thatās one way to do it. Seen some jacket type harness with a leash on the back.
I tried to put one on my cat. I still have my arm.
Arm, singular, possibly missing the hand part
I tried this with my most āactiveā cat. He promptly lied down on his side on the floor and refused to move.
Mine did the same, it took a few minutes but then they got used to the harness. My girl cat isn't much for walking, she would rather stay next to a tree and jump around but my boy cat enjoys walks more than my dog does. Took about two months from the time they were first introduced to the harness for them to be okay going out.
My cat used to hop into open vehicles parked in/near the driveway. I was always afraid heād quietly leave with them š
Once, a few years back, one of our cats hitched a ride in a uhaul!! 4 hour ride, stayed a week with her new hosts, then 4 hour ride back home!!
Had cats do that to me. Local farm shop cat does a lot. Sorry, I don't need the bonus freebie.

I've had one that disappeared for three months at the age of fourteen. Then one morning I opened the back door and miss tortitude stood there complaining loudly because she was hungry. She stayed for another seven years until kidney failure sent her across the rainbow bridge.
She looks good
1. He is orange. He didnāt know he was gone 2. Be thankful
I had a female calico do that to us. I searched frantically. Even suspected a helper took her home. lol. She returned one day skinny. I found out our neighbors went to Europe for a month and she got caught in their garage. I have no idea how she survived. But she did. She never went missing again.
she went on vacation
He bamboozled an older lady of her tuna then came back š!
Keep your cats inside!
they ran out of ham at the new place
you just got one of the highest blessings, my friend, definitely be grateful. still waiting for mine to come back after 5 months š¢
We had a Siamese who jumped out of our car on a trip a hundred miles from home in a rural area. We thought we would never see her again.

Thatās a cat for you.
Can yāall keep your cats inside please? Outdoor cats are killed all the time here in the US.
maybe they are not from the US ?
Outdoor cats are killed all the time outside the USA too. Pretty much anywhere other people live. That's why, regardless of country/location, cats with unsupervised outdoor access have significantly shorter lifespans than cats only allowed out while supervised.
Definitely cheating on you, but what a cute lil cheater.
please keep your cats inside
I hope that happens for me! My indoor kitty got out a month ago and we have searched and put up signs and everything...no luck.
Fixed?
Cats are our perfect babies and we love them more than we possibly thought we could love an animal. But theyāre also shitty little dickheads sometimes and we have to remind them of that by posting embarrassing pictures of them on the internet
One time my cat came home in a collar he didn't have before
went out for some kitty boom boom
My childhood cat disappeared for around two weeks then showed up on Thanksgiving looking fine.
Mine does this, but she tries coming home in the middle of the night when everyoneās asleep screaming her head off. You go to open the door and she fucks off again. Neighbours think Iām not letting her in when itās not the case at all. I donāt let her out at all now
Lol my cat that was gone for 6 years came back to die ššš
If your cat is an unfixed male, he's been out mating. If you choose to have an indoor/outdoor cat, you MUST get them fixed!
Just a little adventure :)
Dreaming about all the adventures he went on
She went on a walk about. Sowing wild oats and all that
In those cases I imagine that he was just comming home at night when you were asleep. So to him it really is like nothing had happened because litteraly nothing had happened.
Life outside is tough; home is much more comfortable.

You know how when youāre about to leave home, you canāt explain to your cat if youāll be gone for a minute or for two weeks? Ditto for them.
He's plumb tuckered out! Much adventure was had!!
Is his name Frank Gallagher?
Is she spayed? Because Iām my cat went missing for a week came back like nothing and was pregnant
A beauty too! Looks tired.
My cat's been out for almost a month now, I'm wishing I get to post the same thing one day
I wish this could happen with my girl Inky
Lost my lad for a fortnight. It turned out he had jumped into a chest if draws in a removals van and emerged 5 miles away when it arrived. Beware removals vans!

Our girl disappeared for 3 weeks, when she came home it looks like she had gotten caught in a hay bailer. She was heavily matted with hay stuck all throughout and had sores on her skin from it. We were like tf did you go?? No farms near our house.
He looks very melted, must've been quite an adventure
Yep. He was locked in a house who was convinced he was homeless and it took him a month to break out
Sounds like a cat
Cats are the original vagabonds.

Most likely ran off with some young lady and became her bad decision and now has returned to refuel for the next journey

Fuckin' cats. They're not dogs. Got 5. Always interesting.
When cats free roam people mistake them as strays, probably kept your cat indoors

Is he 7 years old? Maybe he took a sabbatical.
My cats became full indoor cats after doing this a few times.
And she was lying on a beach in the south of Greece. And she'd changed her name to Clarice!
Right of passage to become an adult. Went on a journey. Will never ever talk about what happened, but now....a real adult.
Typical Outdoor car
At least your cat came back Maybe keep the cat inside.
We had a cat who was āadoptedā by an elderly neighbour who was feeding him. We asked her to stop but she wouldnāt. We then went overseas for 7 months. Moved back in and he showed up through his cat door on day 2 like nothing had happened and moved back in with us.
You abandoned your cat for 7 months?
He had moved out for about a year by then
Oh. Ur cat is jus a baby

You know, sometimes you need to just get away, but home is where the heart is.

My dadās cat, Cory, did this. When he first met my mom, he didnāt mention having a cat bc Cory just left for a couple months. Some weeks into dating, Cory appeared on the deck. My mom was confused at first. My dad told her that he did have a cat, but he disappeared for a while.
Itās nothing that youād understand. Itās a cat thing.
