Put an add in the paper..
Put signs up and down your street, and neighboring streets..
Call the dog officer, etc. to see if he has been picked up..

| Bet he's out womanizing! And I'll bet he comes back no worse for
the wear.
We'll be rooting for Pee Wee's return!

| You may also want to call the local shelters and animal control
officer in case they hear word of a cat matching Pee Wee's description.

| Are you and the neighbors checking garages, basements, etc., any place
your kitten might have accidentally gotten shut in? This is
what happens a lot when a cat "goes missing".

| Check the local vet's offices. They often keep records of found/lost
animals, and folks turn in the founds there too.

| Talk to the neighborhood kids. They often know things that the
adults don't. That's how I got my first cat back when she
accidentally got out of the house right after her spay.

| good one nancy, all kids go rooting and with the incentive
of a few pounds/bucks its amazing how hard they will try.
dont give up hope, i think youll find that hes got a
little bit of fluff somewhere close by!
i spoke to a vet friend of mine who says that is the most
common reason they 'go walkabout'
also ,if you go looking,go in the opposite direction
you think he may have gone,it may sound daft but that also seems
to work.
keep huntin'.

| Hmm, my neighbor made a vet appointment for neutering her cat, he
left that week and hasn't been seen since.
Males are very sensitive about those things, maybe they have a sixth
sense and know when to leave. :-)

| More likely its just the spring urges to mate.
Really guys! No one makes such a big fuss about spaying
a female. It isn't until we start talking about neutering
males that people start anthropomorphizing [whew! how's that
for a 50 cent word :^)].
I think its funny that most women seem to feel that they're
doing the cat a favor by getting it spayed and men seem to feel
guilty about neutering the male - like they're depriving the cat
of something! (Of course its not funny at all when these feelings
get in the way of folks being responsible)
Believe me, what you're depriving the cat of is some bad habits,
fighting, roaming and fathering unwanted kittens! And your cat
will live a longer and healthier life! "Both dogs and cats have
a reduced risk of prostate cancer if neutered, and no risk of
testicular tumors" (from "Why Spay or Neuter your Pet?" put out
by Channing L. Bete Co., Inc) The benefits of spaying are even
more pronounced.
BTW - if anyone wants a copy of that pamphlet send me mail.
I have several.
