Our cat Rover is missing....
... he escaped from his cage on the way back from the vets this evening. OH and I have spent six hours combing the thick hedges, to no avail. He's either lying very low or has legged it (and is hopefully doing the Incredible Journey and finding his way back home..) - we are sad. We're going back up there first thing in the morning.

We have been up at the vets since 6am but it looks as if he's not there any more - there is a poo on the car park which looks like his! - but despite taking food and having a good look again, he hasn't emerged. We have to assume he's moved on, looking for food. I'm just about to ring the insurance company to get authority to offer a reward (they'll pay for it), then I can get the posters done, and go back up there and flyer everywhere. Even the caretaker at the council offices has said he'll look out for the cat.
At least we know that he's strong and healthy (given his condition) and can manage for a while without his medication, according to the vet.

oh that is so awful... I am paranoid about those darn catches on the cat boxes coming loose!
It sounds like you are doing the right things - posters and going there.
Apparently when a cat is scared they will find somewhere small and dark to hide and wont come out... even if they hear your voice! You just have to keep going back there!!!!
Take boxes of biscuits and whiffy food like tuna or something....

Boxy, I'm so sorry to hear this - you must be worried sick! But cats are feisty wee things - one of mine would regularly disappear for days on end and the one that used to come into my work once disappeared for 2 months (we were the owner's first port of call when she didn't come home), but she turned up right as rain and wouldn't tell a soul what she'd been up to all that time. I'm sure Rover will come strolling in without a care in the world x
OH wants to hope that he'll make his way home over time - but it's a long way over unfamiliar territory. My mobile phone is at my side. The cat insurance company has authorised a reward so we've put that on the poster. I just hope with putting my mobile number on the poster, I don't get any nasty phone calls.
