My cat got out 2 nights ago, and I spent literally ALL day searching for him yesterday. Through my entire town, both on foot and in my car, and there was absolutely no sign of him. Yesterday was one of the worst days of my life (for a couple of reasons) but largely due to losing my cat. Losing a pet is tough for everyone of course, but I have a very deep connection to animals/my pets especially. I really consider it a curse. I was having so many anxiety attacks last night just crying and not being able to get up and barely able to breathe.
Anyway, we left the window that he escaped out of open overnight, and around 6:00 this morning I went to go look for him and I saw the food we left outside of the window was open, so I went to the basement where the window was and he was there. I cannot explain how relieved I was/am... I really never thought I was going to ever see his face, hear his meows, or feel his fur again in my life. He's injured, and I'm not sure what happened. I don't think he was hit by a car though. For the most part it's just one of his paws which is very swollen and swelled up to about twice its size. Many of his pads on his paws are completely ripped off.
He's just veryyy exhausted and a bit in shock right now. He won't even let his sister anywhere near him, he just growls and hisses at her. Luckily he's fine with me and letting me stay right by his side. I may take him to the vet in the next couple of days if he doesn't seem to be getting better tho, because he's limping and he meows in pain when he walks. Luckily, I haven't found any fractured or broken bones and there has been no bleeding.
This is why I will never let my pets be outdoor/indoor pets.
I take my cats out almost every day in my backyard which is a very big yard. I monitor them, but I can even go inside for several minutes at a time because I trained them to absolutely never leave the yard. So yeah, I'm so relieved I feel like crying out of joy, but I think I've cried out all my tears yesterday
