My Cat Is Not Coming To My Calls

I have had my cat for over 2 years and he has fought to go outside like you wouldn't believe.  I started letting him out last week.  He went out this morning.  I had to get ready for a therapist appointment, then the appointment for 50 minutes, then I started calling him.  I had to go out for a few hours.  I expected him to be ready to come in.  I have called him many times.  I am really worried.  I just cooked dinner but I don't feel like eating.  Please say a little prayer that he will come home.  Thank you.

It's 3:45 a.m. When It's light out, I am going to do an aggressive search for him. Blue, I just put the same prayer in my diary.

There are a few things you can do to get him home. Put his litter box out by your door, they smell a long ways off, look for him with a flashlight at night. You will see his eyes that way. Put posters up and check at vets and shelters. Let neighbors know and if they have sheds or garages to check inside of them. Sometimes a cat will go in and get shut in. You could use a trap too. Tractor Supply has them or a feral cat group may let you borrow one. You may catch other cats or a wild creature tho. Good luck and I hope he comes home. I hope he is neutered as that could be the reason he wanted out so badly.

Is he neutered? I ask because sometimes boy cats can smell a girl cat in heat and they just have to go and make new kitties. Inner drive. I sure hope he is back by now. I once had a really wild cat, and he was neutered. He would not stay in the house, would not use a litter box. He acted like he was not neutered and would sit and watch dogs that would come up to him. He was not afraid of anything. His best friend cat was afraid of everything and became an inside cat easily. Anyway, I am hoping your cat is home today.

He is home! I am happy and relieved. When I heard him at the door, I seriously bolted to let him in. He will be staying in from now on. Thanks for your great advice! How do I put a pic on here? Do I have to make a new post?

Thanks hasty and Marian! He must have gotten scared out there in the world. He has mostly been sleeping on my clothes in the hallway or in his new hiding spot. I tried to pet him just now. He was purring but pushed my hand away twice. So I'm not real happy about that. He hasn't gone to the door and that part is good. If only he could talk.
