Finding Lost Outdoor Cats - Animal Behavior 1

When an outdoor cat vanishes, it means that something has happened to disrupt his security and daily routine. Your cat may be afraid to return home, because of some intimidating factor. He may have been chased into unfamiliar territory nearby and is panicked, hiding in unfamiliar territory (just a few houses or blocks away). His disappearance could also mean that he is injured, trapped or even, I'm sad to say, deceased within his own territory.
