my 2 year old cat hasn't come home since morning! its been 10 hours now and she has never been out this late! she only goes out for 2 to 3 hours in the morning and she comes home ALWAYS until today.

im afraid she might have lost her way or something because i suspect she went out through the back door. she usually goes out through the front gate. what should i do?

i dont know if she's upset that we have a new kitten at home now and her other cat friend took a liking to the kitten and started playing with the kitten more. but this kitten was brought back almost 2 weeks ago and everytime she went out during that time, she always came home.

another thing i keep thinking is what might have happened to her...if she got knocked down (i dont know if she has encountered a moving car before), if she got attacked by this yellow cat (this rogue male cat goes around fighting with all the cats in my area), if she got beaten by humans (my neighbours are very unkind and most of them hate animals) of worst if she saw dogs and got attacked (we have 2 dogs at home who like her very much and might think any dog is her friend). and its been raining so heavily here in puchong. she scared of water...she would have ran straight home right?

i thought of leaving some her biscuits outside my house so she might come home to eat them but my mom said no cuz she might eat it and run away again or some other cat might eat it. i have no idea what else to do! does anyone have any suggestions abt what i may do? some way to at least find her? do you think she will come home or is she lost for ever? please help me!!!

If you think she went out through the back door, then it might be a good idea to keep the back window open (or the door, if you're around), so that she can return when she manage to find her way back. My cat also got lost this way, but luckily she found her way back again after a few days. She manage to come when I opened my back door and started calling for her.
