My Pussy is gone

Give her a day or so.. she's probably on a walkabout.. cats do it all the time. Take consolation in the fact that females don't wander as far.

get the neighbors cat and shave it.

problem solved.

Don't worry, cats have a natural instinct to come back.. Well, most of the time..

Anyway.. NEVER LET A CAT OUT.

Indoor cats generally live from 12-18 years of age

Outdoor cats generally live to be around four to five years of age. Their deaths are typically due to traumas such as being hit by a car or dog attacks. Outdoor cats are also more susceptible to several deadly viruses that are spread by fighting or prolonged intimate contact with an infected cat.

My cat is 14 years old and I never let my cat outside..

So when your cat comes back, remember what I just said..

Sometimes they come back after a couple of days, i know a lot of people that that happened to.

When I was a kid we always had cats. They usually lived a long time and always went outside whenever they wanted, usually they would stand at the door and want to come in and out every 15 minutes. Sometimes they disappeared for a few days, but never had a cat just not come back. Damn cats just LOVE to get stuck in trees though...my ex girlfriend had to have her uncle cut a tree down because the cat was in it, it was at least 100 feet up for 3 days. They cut it down and as it was falling the cat ran down the tree while it was horizontal before it hit the ground

Yikes! I just started letting her out recently. She had never been out but lately started crying at the door alot.

yeh cats should be kept indoors at all times..

hope, she`ll come back...

I just saw a naked cat with a bomb-belt on entering the White House area

When I was a kid we had 3 outdoor cats and they all lived to be 15+.

I agree 100% but I thought this was a Lawrence Connor post at first

She'll probably be back.. most people wouldn't want a hairless rat looking cat anyways..

There are exceptions to every rule.. but in general.. it's true. Your cat won't live nearly as long if you let em outside.

Syl, sorry to hear. Like most everyone said, she'll most likely be back tonight or tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be back sooner so the kids hopefully don't notice.

She'll come back soon. My cat likes to go out but he won't go out of the yard, thank god. If he doesn't get let out he has a fit.

why dont you adopt Pinky ?

really to hear that, i know how it feels to lost a pet so dear

Own3d .. you've lost you cat !

Yeah, some people who smoked cigarettes died at old age also.. There are exceptions. Still not a reason to do it.

Yeah, I hate using bold and bigger text but I wanted to be sure she got the message

Should You Let Your Cat Go Outside?

You've just adopted a cat who will be your companion for many years. One of the big decisions you must make about your cat's care is whether to allow him access to the outside. You'll find cat lovers on both sides of the indoor vs. outdoor fence.

This decision will have a serious effect on the quality of your cat?s life ? and may well determine how long your cat lives. Those who live outdoors have a far shorter life expectancy and are at far greater risk of contracting serious illnesses.

The Outdoor Life

Long viewed as independent creatures, cats are still considered by many to need the freedom of the outdoors to stay happy. Outdoor living, or even visiting, offers natural stimuli that cats may find exciting and fun ? trees to climb, mice and bugs to chase and sunlight for leisurely naps.

Cats allowed outside may choose to relieve themselves in the nearest garden thus eliminating the need for you to clean the litter box as often or buy as much litter. The outdoors is an appropriate environment for a cat to exhibit behaviors such as scratching and spraying to mark territory. If your cat exhibits the same behaviors indoors, they become problems that must be solved to maintain a happy and livable household.
If you adopted a stray or feral cat (one that has never lived with humans), he may be more insistent about continuing to go outside than a cat that has always lived indoors. A stray or feral cat may be more likely to make your life miserable or cause you to reach new heights of creativity to keep him content indoors.

The Dangers of Outdoor Life

On the other hand, the health of outdoor cats is threatened by contagious diseases such as feline leukemia, feline immunodeficiency virus, feline infectious peritonitis and rabies.

Feline immunodeficiency virus, or feline AIDS, for example, is a fatal disease that is carried by up to 14 percent of the cat population. It is transmitted from cat to cat by blood and saliva. This happens primarily through biting so outdoor and male cats that fight with other cats are at greatest risk.

Parasites such as fleas, ticks and worms most commonly attack outdoor cats. If you allow your cat to go in and out at will, he will carry these parasites back into your home. Outdoor cats are more likely to contract diseases such as toxoplasmosis, ringworm and roundworms, all of which are zoonotic meaning they can be transmitted to people.

Outdoor cats may be attacked by wildlife or free-roaming domestic animals. As unpleasant as it is to think about, they may succumb to traffic accidents, pet-theft, poison, mutilations, traps and animal abuse. Cats living outside must deal with harsh weather and the physical problems that go with it such as frostbite or hyperthermia.

Neighbors may not appreciate your cat digging in their gardens or making deposits on their property. As a result, your outdoor cat may be the victim of neighbors who take matters into their own hands.

Cats are notorious hunters, and even if fed, may seek out wild prey to satisfy their instinctive urges. The American Bird Conservancy estimates that cats, along with other factors such as loss of habitat by land development, threaten many songbird species. The ABC has developed an initiative to encourage cat owners to keep their cats indoors. Other major animal organizations promote indoor living for cats as well.

Sexually intact cats allowed to roam freely contribute to pet overpopulation by reproducing indiscriminately.

The Indoor Life

Perhaps the biggest argument for keeping a cat indoors is his life expectancy, which is dramatically greater than that of a cat living outside or even one allowed out via a pet door or other access method. Cats who live solely outdoors live about three to five years on the average while the average life expectancy of indoor cats is 14 years or longer.

If you've adopted a cat from a shelter or purchased a pedigreed cat from a responsible breeder, you may have signed a contract requiring that the cat be kept indoors. Both may follow up with you after a few months to check on how the cat is doing and ask if you are keeping your new companion indoors.

Putting an indoor cat out is not the solution to a behavior problem, and letting your cat outdoors is no insurance that he will not develop a behavior problem when he comes inside.

Keeping a cat indoors is not completely without risks and is no insurance that the cat will not contract a contagious disease. By weighing all the factors, you will need to arrive at your own decision about the environment ? outdoors or indoors ? in which you want your cat companion to live.

so your telling us in code that you have a shaved pussy ?

j/k

hehe..i agree..she is not cute at all

Why yes i do and thanks for checking

i saw your pussy last nite... it was inside a bread called "siopao"

My cats used to do that and they would always come back. I hope yours does too.

i might have seen that shaved pussy

nasty . . . . .\


dont you know that pussy are now used in longganisa's . .. . ..

my grandparents had an OUTDOOR cat that lived to be 22 years old. it all depends on the surrounding.

Yeah, some people who smoked cigarettes all their lives died at old age also.. There are rare exceptions. Still not a reason to do it. I'm not making that up about the statitstics. Veterinarians are the one talking about it.
