5/25 Share from.Owner Thanks to everyone for keeping an eye out, Soup came back on his own and had to face the wrath of his wifey Noodle. She was not having it and gave him a slap or two... Now that I think about it... he probably needed a break.

Thanks. He was a community cat and is lost in his old neighborhood. He came to me after a pretty vicious attack so we cleaned him up and TNRed him. He later came back, ran inside when I opened the door one day and then decided the couch was his new home. That was about a year ago. We think he was in our back yard last night from video footage. He got half way to our open door then a racoon spooked him and he just turned around and ran... twice. :/ Hopefully, he'll be more brave tonight.

For Soup’s people: Please read the advice shared on the Missing Animal Response Network. They have a page specific to lost cat behavior. https://www.missinganimalresponse.com/lost-cat-behavior/ If you have not already, visit neighboring homes and ask them to look into their garages and outbuildings, checking multiple times while sitting patiently, and quietly. Cats get scared when in strange places and won't necessarily bolt for the door when it is opened, and might not even run to a familiar person if they happen to be present. Also, post flyers - don't rely upon everyone having access to on-line posts. Check every logical and illogical place your cat may have gotten into on your property, to name just a couple: cabinets/drawers — high and low; in garages/bats/sheds. Don’t forget to check in with local vets and animal shelters. Some have had success with placing a humane trap in their backyard - luring kitty in with a serving of their regular food; also with leaving clothing/blankets with your and/or their scent. If you have not already, post to Pawboost and/or Nextdoor. Each has their own audience and can be highly effective. Finally, for any reading this, please keep a bowl of water (ideally freshened every 2-3 days) in your garages/outbuildings for those instances when a neighborhood critter happens to find themselves trapped. Good luck, I hope to read a positive update on Soup soon!
