Default My cat disappeared?

I have a 14 year old cat that has lived in my garage for the last 10
years.He is one of 3. He had been sick with a upper respiratory
infection and or and off antibiotics for the last year.Now he is gone.
Checked all the neighbors,new paper ads and ASPCA,No sign.DO cats just
go off and die?

A cat may be hiding when sick - I found a neighbor's cat in my back yard
when he was hit by a car, just 40 feet from their house. Going out and
looking in all the possible hiding places may find him. Going out when it
is quiet and calling may find him, too.

Good luck,

Alan

Check under the hedge, under the house (if possible), in dark places
such as a garage or shed, in the garden. These seem to be favourite
places were cats can hide away.

If he was poorly someone might have found him and taken him to a vets
, so check with the local ones.
Maybe someone felt sorry for him and took him home . Alison
