Hello pet owners,
My cat Bobby has been missing since Wednesday evening. He's a neutered tuxedo, a real home cat who only nips out for a pee and is usually indoors the bulk of the time. I'm especially worried due to the horrendous weather and temperatures at the moment. I plan to make some leaflets tomorrow, but I'm a total novice at this and would appreciate any tips, advice, or links any of you can provide.
My other tuxedo Trixie is curled up with me and Bobby is very much missed. They're siblings.
Cheers
P.S. I read through some similar threads but nothing like this has happened to us before and I'm a bit lost as to where to start.

Have you had a look at this website? http://www.nationalpetregister.org/
You can have a look see if anyone has found him, and also post a message about
Bobby aswell.
Hope he turns up very soon x
I hope he's just mad at me for taking him to the vets and its nothing else, but its such thick snow I hate to think of him out alone
i hope Bobby comes home soon xxx

Yes trevvytrev21, please let (us) cat lovers know if you have had any luck. When I say 'cat lovers' I am not including myself because I don't pine any more if the cat goes missing but because it happens to all cat owners at some time or other , it can be pretty traumatic like losing a member of the family.
1997 and the postman turns up with the mail and a little kitten ''is this yours'' ..... no but it became ours and we all lived happily for 11 years. The cat (she) would roam, we wouldn't see her for days on end and sometimes when we had not seen her for a week or two we thought that was it !!
She always came back eventually ... then we moved 2009 and everything was fine after she settled down .... went missing for 3 weeks then a neighbor found her, great relief.
A month later disappeared again, never to be seen since .
Our present cat (she) was about 2 years old when we got her 4 years ago. She has gone missing 5-6 times over that period, the longest for 10 days.
As others have said, print up posters and put them everywhere you can. Places to look are garages, any communal bins (food) and the time to be looking is between 1am and 7 am when all is quiet.
Good Luck.
They do get in all kinds of places.
This time of year with the cold, there is also the hunger of foxes to consider. Food will be scarce for them and they come after the cats and small dogs.
My vet told me it's very uncommon for Foxes to attack cats. They would rather go for much smaller and easier targets. They don't want to risk injury.
He went missing from the Cliftown area of Southend-on-sea Essex. So by slim chance anyone on here is from around that area please look. He is White very long thick fur with blue markings nose and ears with a grey tail.
My thoughts are also with the thread poster here,really hope you get your cat back.
He is a bit thinner but not too bad and the family especially the kids are over the moon.
Thanks again for your kindness and to the other lost owners on here don't lose hope,because I have to say I really was beginning to think we would never see him again.I will be thinking and hoping for you.
And so nice to hear people coming together to help find your cat too.
I agreed to take on a cat (owners are emigrating) and they came and dropped him off on Saturday. 24 hours later and the little monkey escaped out of the house. This gives me hope that i will get him back, even if it takes a few weeks
A fox will not generally attack a healthy cat, as the cat can put up a very good fight and it's not worth the hassle. Our old cat (aged 20 and deaf) had to be put down after a fight with two foxes, but that was very unusual - I reckon they were curious and surprised him because he couldn't hear them coming. Our other cat has successfully defended himself many times, though, against the garden foxes.
