My Nextdoor app = 1000 I lost my cat posts daily.

I lost my cat for a week once but he wasn't an outdoor cat, he just snuck past as I was coming home in the dark once. It was so difficult to try to explain to people that no, he is not an outside cat, and please please help me get him back home because he doesn't know how to get home. So many people in the neighbourhood saw him but they just assumed he was an outdoor cat and didn't bother.

Thankfully I found him after many nights of going out to search for him, but I really can't imagine people would've reacted the same to a lost dog.

This was like 15 years ago but I'm still in the habit of opening my door foot first now to make sure I push any curious kitties back before I walk in.

I thought this happened to me once, and spent several hours looking around the neighborhood just to discover it was still inside. I would have sworn on my life there was no space left unchecked that could physically fit a cat.

This happened and our cat was actually in the space between the screen door and the exterior door. Also sleeping in the closet

I had a idea of how to stop them but my wife wouldn't let me.

Respond with a picture of a coyote, bobcat, mountain lion, great horned owl or other predator with the caption, "Thank you for dinner, it was delicious."

I have a friend whose neighbour literally watched their cat get eaten by a coyote in their backyard. The friend still let her own cat out in that same neighbourhood after that happened cause "oh he just keeps getting out, we don't know how..."🙄 Poor guy got hit by a car some months later.

What a shitty pet guardian. My brother in-law's cat escaped once and was immediately attacked by a coyote right outside his front door. The cat survived, but used up 8 of his lives. 😆 The difference is the rest of that cat's life was spent happily living comfortably inside...

Mostly it's going to be dogs and cars

Where I live, it's mainly coyote and raccoons.
