Cat Forum / General Topics / April 2004Survival
Our cat went missing recently and was found trapped in an empty house. He survived for 11 days apparently without food or water. How long can a cat survive this way? What is the longest anyone out there has had a cat go missing like this? Did you take the cat to the vet? It's likely he suffered irreparable liver damage and might have to have a special diet for the rest of his life.

I apologize for my bluntness. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy your cat survived. However, I am concerned he might be seriously ill and you might not know it. Cats are notorious for hiding pain and disease.

How did your cat fare out after the 11 days, is she O.K. now? I'm curious as a collector of real cat stories. Please let me know and will you give/allow info for future publication of my book?

There is an article in the latest issue of "The Cat" magazine (the members magazine of the UK charity Cats Protection) that mentions a cat who had survived 22 days without food or water in a container on board a ship travelling from Houston, Texas to Aberdeen. She had apparently survived on condensation alone to stay alive. There's a photo of her in the magazine and she really looks beautiful now, a true survivor :-) She's living with the person who found her and has been named "Houston" after the place from where she came..!
