What are the chances of finding a lost cat?
There is about a 33% chance that a missing cat will be found within 7 days, and about 56% by 2 months; few cats are recovered after that.
Where would you find a lost cat?
Visit your local animal shelter and animal control in case someone has taken your cat there. Some will take details of missing cats to keep on file. If you have recently moved house, you should also search back at your old address, as there have been cases of cats going back to where they used to live.
Do cats come back home after they run away?
If your cat has already run away and has come back, there's no reason why they shouldn't come home again this time. To put your mind at ease and to make sure your cat's not in danger (injured or stuck for example), it's best to go from door to door and ask your neighbours if they have seen your cat.
