Our cat often goes out and comes back 2 days later. This weekend he went out on Friday and only got home half an hour ago :o
I was wondering if there are cat experts on CBF who can tell me what they might be getting up to when they go AWOL long term. When he comes back he is knackered but not (as I would maybe expect) starving - in fact he doesn't even eat, just sleep. I have concluded that he is up to one of the following:
1. Out all weekend living on mice and birds
2. He has a second home
Does anyone who have good experience of owning cats know what the truth is likely to be?
Cheers!

Did you have the cat before you moved.
If yes, then could he be going back to his previous home.
-
No
-
Has he been snipped.
-
Scunner or the cat
-
Yes he has been snipped :o
-
The present Mrs H votes for option 2.
-
He has a woman and she has the same question..Where does HE go???????????
-
I'd also say he's got a second home.
-
Little sod
-
Lucky
-
He obviously prefers your house if he only disappears for two days.
-
He'll have to go a little more than 2 days when we go on holiday next summer.

My cat goes and gets a 2nd dinner next door. They call him Elvis there. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
top cat :)
-
Cats on average have seven homes :D
-
They also catch and kill upto 15 rats n mice or other 'things' per night when they leg it for a couple of days.
Also if its male and they get a whiff of a female in season they wont come back for love nor tuna! Ours hops it for upto 4 days at a time then comes home demands his food then sleeps for a day before going out again.

Our present cat, a female, always stays near home, although she has been missing all day sometimes. However, male cats always seem to stray. The last male we had used to regularly disappear. We found that he sometimes went into a local farmer's out buildings and got locked in. Sometimes they find a nice place for a sleep and the door gets closed on them. They also seem to keep making this mistake. We used to ring the farmer if our cat was missing for a few days and he would go and open one of his steading doors and our cat would appear and be very hungry. Also one time our cat came back after two days and his head was filthy and we thought he must have had it trapped in a rabbit burrow. :o

Our little cat only went missing when it was time to depart this earth. A neighbour found her under a garden bush some 3 months later :(
She did come walkies with the dog and I. She always waited outside the woods though, as we went in and took a short cut to the shop. I once forgot and went another way home and about 3 hours later Maggie said 'where's Minnie?' 'S*it' I said 'she will be sat waiting for us by the woods!'. The dog got an extra walk that morning ;)

Lol Scunner - you need to read 'Six Dinner Sid'.....the girls are a little old for it now, but they would love it !! It will explain all........ :) We have three cats, and during the summer we rarely see them - they pop in and out for meals and just to check on us, but otherwise they are found in the fields behind the house and asleep in the farmers hay barn. Now the weather is cooler, they are home and back to their usual cuddly selves. Mumsie's neighbour has a white cat, to our knowledge he not only lives at number 8, but has breakfast with my Mum in number 7, cuddles and sleeps at number 6 AND has a food bowl in number 5 !!!
