Hi, there!

I know exactly what you mean. I experience this as well in many aspects of my life and it’s never easy – but you have to remember that nothing is certain in life. We can control it as much as we want too, and do the best that we can for ourselves and others but it’s okay that there is an unknown. If we knew exactly what was going to happen everyday, wouldn’t it get pretty boring?! I struggle with this as well, so you’re not alone! I try and imagine the unknown as driving your car… You continue to keep driving even though you don’t know what is ahead because you know you’re going to be okay and can trust the road ahead of you. Unfortunately people like us tend to overthink which causes unneeded worry. As for your cat, I hope he or she comes back safely. Keep an optimistic mind and know that there is a blessing in everything, even if you don’t see it right away!

Cleo, I am sorry that your cat has not been around for 2 days, but you need to be proactive if you want to get him back.
When a cat gets out, they become disoriented in their surroundings even if they can see you and you see them. Even if they are domesticated.
You need to call him and he needs to hear your voice. You need to call his name morning and evening so he knows you are looking for him. To just sit back and grieve is not an option. Walk up and down your street shaking the bag of treats or dry food as well as making the sound of opening up the can.

Have you left food around your home and called animal control? Have you put up posters for your cat? Even if he is an outdoor cat, you still need to do this. You should put things of your scent around your home as well.

best of luck.
