6 Weeks ago I went away for the weekend and came back to only one cat. Q (my
first & 13 years old) was nowhere to be seen and after a while I assumed
he'd gone somewhere to die quietly as he is not a wanderer at all.
Just pulled up and next door came out of their house "Guess who's turned up
in our kitchen?". Didn't believe it, he had gone in and barged their two
cats off the food dish and devoured everything in sight. He saw me and came
over meawing his little head off.
Just a bag of skin and bones but no obvious damage and a few 'dreadlocks' -
he's 3/4 Maine Coon. Coat still shiny, teeth good, so although he's
obviously not been 'looked after' he's in good health. He's not too
impressed with the 2 kittens I got to replace him though. lol
Would love to know where he's been. He does tend to climb into vehicles so I
am thinking he climbed into a delivery van and got delivered somewhere far
away then found his way back home. If he's have got shut in someone's shed
he'd not have survived 6 weeks on just water would he?
Needless to say I am a very happy bunny tonight. :o)

That is fantastic news..
I once had one of my cats go awol for 2 days, I went out all over the place
with the kids looking for him.
I would think he has been stuck somewhere, I am glad you are reunited. My
mash also jumps into any car or van that parks close, if we or a neighbour
have a van delivery or builders in, we have to check the vehicle before it
leaves as mash pops his head down and has a sleep. I would be mortified if
we lost him.

God this is such a beautiful news and you must be over the moon! I know Id
go mental if one of mine disappeared. Your scenario is most likely to have
happened. Someone could;ve taken him on purpose as well. Perhaps you should
microchip them if they're going out, just in case.
best wishes
