[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 648369, member: 17461"] Our cat followed us down the road once while we were walking the dog. She stayed in the woods and brush beside the road, but every so often, we would see her. After that, we didn't see her for a few days. It never occurred to us that she may not have been able to find her way home. We took the dog that way again (instead of the other way, as we usually did). And there was our cat. Meowing like crazy when she saw us, she hightailed it for home through the woods. Not on the road with us, but through the woods and yards. When we got home, she was there at the door. I wonder if something similar is happening with Captain Morgan. Have you tried walking down every hallway and around the building? Leaving litter and something with your scents on it is a great idea. We have all seen those movies where the cat comes home from a great distance, so we think they can not get lost in their own neighborhoods, but our cat did. Maybe everything smells the same in the familiar places? Especially if he does not go out much, that could be what is happening. It's a rural area, but our cat was something like two blocks from home. It had to be that she wasn't sure how to get back. She was in the area where we had last seen her skulking along behind us, peeking out from behind trees and so on as we walked the dog. She was hungry and scared, but happy to be home. Poor Captain Morgan! I hope he finds his way home, soon. Cedar [/QUOTE]
