Hi Kat,
I wanted to tell you how invaluable the information on lost/displaced indoor cats is on your website. The information was spot on about the cats behavior when lost outside their home. Our visiting family left our front door open long enough for our Gordy to escape. This happened late at night after we had gone to bed. The next day when we realized no Gordy was to be found in his usual napping spots in the house we panicked. Long story short we searched in our neighborhood high and low at every hour, dusk and Dawn hoping to find Gordy hiding nearby. We purchased a trap cage and set it up but shortly afterwards and almost 36 hours after his big escape, we spotted him down the street low crawling across a neighbors yard. He was panting from the hot temps here in Phoenix. We had to coax him out from under a car but got him home. He’s still recovering and sleeping alot with sunburnt ears and his back claws broken from what we think was him scrambling up cinder block wall fences allover the neighborhood. Thank you for your wonderful insight and this website. We can’t thank you enough as it helped focus our search better. He was found across and down the street, 3 houses down. He never answered us whenever we called his name. This was his first time outdoors in his life. He was already chipped and neutered long ago before this.
