I placed a big bowl of food for 'em outside last night. I looked in the morning and it was untouched. :cry:
Honestly, I don't know if putting food outside is a good idea. You're likely to attract things you don't want.

Don't give up for at least a week. I used to have a cat that would run away every few weeks for days at a time, only to return like nothing had happened.

Heck, I had one cat that ran away for like 3 months before she came back.

:x : Have an eBay troll bidding up one of my auctions. Doesn't seem to be anything I can do aside from wait for the auction to end and relist which sucks :P. Guy has 1 feedback which is positive but warns that he has previously bid on an item then not paid or responded to messages :P.

Speaking of ebay, I got sniped on Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV on 32X. :evil:

That game only pops up once every almost never. Damn it all.

Is the 32X region-free?

Its a tough one. :|

The last time I saw a copy on ebay, 4 or 5 months ago I believe, it was a BIN at something like $350. Definitely out of my price range.

The one I lost last night sold at $112. I should have set my bid higher, but there was no other activity at all and I foolishly thought I'd squeak by. Oh well.

Uh oh, I just thought, are you the guy who beat me on this one? That would be kinda cool actually. :lol:

How long has the cat been missing? If it hasn't been that long, maybe he's hiding in the house some where. I know it sounds stupid, but I've had this happen to me before. Some one left the back door open for a while and I couldn't find one of the cats. I assumed he got out. I looked in every room several times, every where I could possibly look. I was 100% sure the cat got out. Then a few hours later, the cat showed up inside the house. He was just in a VERY good hiding spot.

But anyway man, that sucks. Hope you find him.
I had something similar happen, only without the open door. I couldn't find my cat anywhere. Eventually after going over the house for the third time I heard a little meow, and it turned out she had snuck in to the cabinet under my bathroom sink while I was grooming, I didn't notice, and shut the door on her.
I have had exactly this happen with my kitchen sink. Cats love to find tiny dark hiding places. Once I accidentally captured my cat in a closet for two days. The most likely scenario seems to be a hiding cat.

If anything, this simply supports the hiding cat theory. Place your bait inside the house, because your cat may not be outside at all.
