Description
Buck has decided he doesn't want to live here anymore & has gone walkabout.
Let me explain, he has been living inside. In fact after 5 days of being here he did get out the window but after we had looked for an hour he turned up on the front BUT since then he has NEVER tried to get out. We made a pen for him in the backgarden, just to get some fresh air. I used to carry him in & out, then it got to that he would run from the pen back into the kitchen. We used to laugh because he would beat me in, even batting my leg as he passed me & even Jasmine escorted him in & he NEVER once looked at the garden & wanted to wander round it.
This particular morning it was raining & I told him I was going to beat him in as it was raining,surprised he didn't rush, I looked out the door & he had dissappeared & has not been seen since.
We have notified all the cat rescues, vets, Brenda, where we got him from is ringing his previous owner in case he turns up there. I have done fliers, I will ring the RSPCA (even thouigh I don't like them) in case someone takes him there.
It is as if he has dissappeared off the face of the earth.
We are so worried, (writing this I feel so sick) it is the not knowing, only thing in his favour is he was used to looking after himself. Was so putting off telling you all but I have to now.
Thanks for all the comments, so appreciated. xxxx

Gosh, Barbara, WHAT a worry! There is nothing more you can do.. Cats are so very different from dogs and so much more likely to cope. We can only hope with you that you will soon find out or that he will return.
I'm so sorry - he's a beautiful cat. I hope you find him.
oh my dear, hope the best for you and Buck! so very lovely cat- and he is so welcome- hope he find his way and what ever he had the best place one the world and a good life by your side!
Oh, so sorry to hear Buck left the house.. I hope he'll come back as nothing happened, maybe he's in love with some cat in the neiborhood (it's most likely this happened). I know how worried you are my friend :) Amazing portrait of Buck!
I agree with Ady - there must be a lady cat close by! I really do hope and pray that he returns unharmed and in good health Barbara!
Oh Barbara, I am so sorry! I know how worried you are. I'm sure he will be back. Cats are so cursedly independent, and it may take a while, but he knows he has a good thing, and he was with you for a while, so he has imprinted on you all well by this time. My sister had a cat that was gone for a couple of months and came back. It's useless to say don't worry, but know that you have a whole community here rooting for you and for Buck's return. I'm sure he still wants to live there he is just sowing some wild oats, as they do. Beautiful picture of him. You, Buck, and the girls are in my thoughts. My best wishes for his speedy return.
Wonderful Capture she looks so peaceful
My heart sank when I read this, and tears came to my eyes, hoping so much that your beautiful boy comes home safe and sound. ♥
I'm guessing he found something he felt was worth exploring. If Buck was willing to pose for you and get to know the dogs, chances are good that he'll want to come back. After all, a cat needs his minions.
Oh Barbara, I am so sorry. Hopefully he will show up, he seemed so happy with you all. We had a cat one time who disappeared for about a week and one night at a party we had she walked across the floor. We finally discovered that she had found a hidy hole inside our daughter's box springs. We had another cat so she was getting food and water and I guess just went on retreat.
Cute Kitty
Oh this must be such a worry for you! I do hope it's just temporary and he comes back when he's had a little explore around. Fingers crossed....
I hope he comes home to you soon, probably when he misses the free food. :) Beautiful capture of him!
I am so sorry, I hope he returns soon.
Barbara, it is such heartbreaking news to hear that little Buck is lost. He will be in my prayers that he returns soon to the home where he is loved.
Oh Barbara, this must be devastating to you and of course the girls. We can only pray that he comes back. Please keep us posted. Hugs! Dana
barbara so sorry about buck. hope he returns real soon. i know how worred you are about your baby. he knows you love him and i hope he comes home real soon.
Oh Barbara what a shame I do hope he is ok and finds his way back soon, I know it will be a worrying time for you, but it does sound like you have done all you can at this point to try an locate him..Guess the girls will miss him also.. You both are in my thoughts..
This touching my Heart Barbara and I agree with all other comments
So very sorry to hear about Buck and hope he soon returns to the wonderful home that is waiting. CC
I pray he will return safely to you!
So sorry you lost Buck, and hope he is gone very temporarily. We lost a cat three years ago. It is still a heartbreak to us.
beau portrait!!
I know what you have been going through dear Barbara after Buck disappeared, and I knew in time you would tell your friends on Rendo. Remember that you have some good friends here, and I know just like me they will all pray for Buck's safety and eventually his return to you. Take good care dearest Barbara, love and hugs Janice and furryfolk, we love you xxxxxxxxxxxx
Oh Barb! My heart is breaking for you. I too know about cats, and how they sometime just choose to go walkabout, no matter how hard you try to protect them. Cats are not dogs. They are very independent minded, and you probably could not have prevented it. You have done everything in the world that you could do ensure the if he was found, he would come back to you. I'm betting he will come back. As someone else mentioned, sometimes it's months. It's so easy to sit here and tell you don't worry, but I can't say that to you, because when it's happened to me, I could not stop worrying. So just know that there are SO many of us here who are feeling your pain and worry, and praying for Buck's safety and well-being no matter where he is, and that he soon comes back home. Just remember Barb, it is NOT your fault, you are NOT to blame. Cats are cats, and they will do what they will do.
cute !
