I know you've already searched in all the usual places. However, look
carefully for any holes that you may not be aware of. For example, cats
will sometimes dig into the underside of mattresses or sofas and actually
climb into them. Also, is there any place that "should" have a covering
over a hole that the cat could have pried loose (such as an opening made by
termite inspectors or an opening for heating duct work)?

Check all drawers, the backs of closets. Do you have any garment bags in
your closets? My cat has ruined five bags by ripping a hole and climbing
inside. Her favorite game is "Hide and Seek". She loves to sneak in the
drawer where I keep pots ad pans. Can she get back of the clothes washer,
etc? Best wishes for locating your kitty. MLB

Wilson often goes missing for hours and I get myself all upset,
search everywhere then he'll strollout very unconcernedly,
so lets hope and pray it will be the same for Mandy, my place is small too
even though its 3 bedrooms, but if he doesn't want to be disturbed
I cannot find him Purrs for Mandy to turn up soon Jean.P.

In addition to what I said in my last post...just in case Mandy did manage
to get out, you should thoroughly search the neighborhood. Walk all around
the neighborhood, calling Mandy's name, but concentrate on places close to
home (under shrubs, window-wells, etc.). Contact neighbors, and put up
fliers with photos and phone numbers. In addition, leave a bowl of highly
"scented" food (such as tuna fish) beside your door -- just inside the door
with the door slightly ajar, if it is safe in your area.

First, do you ever let her out? I'm assuming you don't. Not to make
light of your justifiable worries, but my beloved Misty (RB) used to
play hide and seek with us all the time and scare us half to death.
One time when we had left the screen door to the second floor patio
open and briefly unattended, she hid and we were sure she'd jumped.
We looked for hours inside and out and finally when we were in the
bedroom heard a little mew. We looked around to no avail and heard it
again. The little beast had hidden herself under a pile of covers on
the unmade bed and had gleefully listened to us frantically search for
her.
Here's hoping that she'll show up one way or another. Please let us
know as soon as anything happens.

When Clyde went missing recently he had been locked in the neighbour's
garage. So ask around the neighbours and get them to open their
garages or outside rooms and sheds. Clyde had gone to sleep in the
garage and couldn't even be bothered to come out when it was opened
again. Of course , in the morning he wanted out!!
He's done this twice so is a slow learner. However I am now alert to
his tricks. I know how upsetting it is when a kitty goes missing,
purrs that she comes back soon.

Annabel Lee once sneaked out the door behind me as I was leaving for
work. I didn't discover this until I came home that day. I searched
the neighborhood, without success, and searched the next morning.
When I got home from work that day, she was sitting next to the door
and gave me a five-minute speech about how long she had had to wait
for me to get home. Fortunately, Cinders, my current cat, doesn't
seem to want to go outside. I live on a busy street, and about 300
feet (about 100 meters) from a major highway, so I don't want to let
my cat or cats wander around outside on their own.

I do hope Mandy appears really soon. Soncek can hide himself really well,
but luckily never stays hidden for that long.

hiding place.

GET HOME NOW purrs in effect!!!! Keep looking in the house though. I
remember a few years ago when someone had this scenario, the cat really WAS
in the house, in a closet or something. If you don't think she could get
out, perhaps she is stuck somewhere?

I do hope Mandy returns home, or better yet, is found sleeping in the
back of a drawer.
Just a few weeks ago, on a Sunday, when I was home all day, I fed Kenzie
when I got up. Her food is in the closet in the bathroom.
I didn't see her the whole rest of the day, which is unusual. By
dinnertime, I was getting worried, and I started searching my small but
cluttered house.
No Kenzie.
After about two hours of searching, i was getting pretty desperate. I
thought she had to be inside the house, because I couldn't even remember
going out myself at all that day.
I decided to get some of her kibble, and rattle it in her dish. I opened
the bathroom closet, to find Kenzie blinking at me, curled up in the
back of the closet, on some old clothes. I must have closed her inside,
without remembering I had left the door open, and closed it later
sometime
I had called her name at least a hundred times, and nothing.
Kenzie hadn't even gotten into the bag of dry food.
The little devil scared me to death.
I hope this is the case with Mandy: that she's just found a cozy spot to
hide out, or is locked inside someplace she can't get out of, and will
start meowing SOON!

Purrs that Mandy will soon be home safely. Hopefully, she's fine, and just
can't quite recall her way home. Panther pulled a disappearing act on me
once just after I'd moved to my current apartment, and the little wretch was
gone ALL day. I was so worried, I even drove back to the apartment complex
I'd moved away from to see if he'd gone back there. He finally showed up
around midnight that night. I was never happier to hear his mouthy yowl to
be let in than I was then!
Look around your neighborhood, and call her repeatedly. Also, check to make
sure she hasn't got herself STUCK somewhere, inside or out. She might have
inadvertently gotten trapped in a neighbor's garage, or something.
