going senile??? mibbe she's kinda forgot where she lives,or just doesnt recognise her owner?

I suppose that might be possible, Niki, but she's only 11, a bit young for that. And when my Patches got a bit senile when she was nearing 20 she always responded to my voice and seemed comforted and more oriented.

mibbee she had a knock?

Still not home - food left out not touched.

That's so very sad CM. Poor little cat - I can't think of anything else, except perhaps borrowing a trap from a local CP, but if she's not eating her food ..... I wonder if Niki is right in wondering perhaps she's had a knock or been hit on the head. Your friend must be frantic.

I'm sure this must have been done, but in case, has she asked the neighbors if they are feeding her or letting her in?

Went round and asked those that were in if they spot her to call her mobile. If noone in left a flyer with description asking same.

She is such a petite wee cat she could easily be mistaken for an older kitten from a distance.

Very worrying; I do hope she's at least spotted; so odd to be staying away from home this long. Fingers crossed and Come Home vibes coming.

Quick update. She is coming up to the house at night for food but as soon as anyone moves she runs off.

My friend is heartbroken and getting so down.

I am considering suggesting she tries to borrow a live trap. Do you think that is a good idea?

I guess those who have used these things before are better placed to know. I would have thought yes, at least a vet could take a look at her and make sure she's not taken a knock. I do sympathise with your friend - she must be beside herself, not knowing why her cat doesn't want to live at home any more.
