unfortunately not. she has been gone 6 days now. someone about 10 doors away thought they saw her in their garden 2 days after she went missing, but she ran away. however, we have found out that there is another cat looks almost like her who has been seen by ourselves going down driveways around that house, so it could have been that one. we have searched all around the wooded area where she was heading, as far as a human being can penetrate it, laid used cat litter trails leading back to our house, put vacuum cleaner dust into the air from our house - all the recommended things to help a cat find its trail if it's lost. one of the problems is that she would not come out when anyone, or any other animal is around, and she would not go to anyone. we have left a downstairs window open and easy access for her to get in if she comes back during the night, but she definitely has not been back, i put food down and it has not been eaten. also there are foxes in this wood, we know because we have seen them on the garden at night. i have put notices up, leafleted the surrounding area to check outbuildings and have run out of ideas. someone walks these woods every day and my husband went out during darkness one night alongside the bottom of the garden where the woods start. (i am surprised no one called the police thinking there was a prowler). i don't know what else i can do now. i am beginning to fear we have definitely lost her. thank you for asking, everybody around us knows and are keeping and lookout and asking. there are many cat owners on our street so they all know how worried we are.
