Broxi is missing!! Updated: He's home!!!

[alexgirl73]

My oldest boy Broxi got out in the middle of the night. The front door obviously hadn't been closed properly, and he has managed to open it and get out :cry: . OH discovered this at 2.30 in the morning when he got upto go to the loo. So we were out trawling the streets and checking gardens until 3.30. Tried to get some sleep and have been out again since first light but no sign of him. he has always been an indoor cat, and has never been allowed out. Would he have the sense to come home? i'm so scared of going round the corner and seeing him lying there, he obv has no road sense. Prayers and good wishes needed please.

[Mags]

Oh dear, I'm sorry to hear that Alex :( I would like to think that he has gone into hiding somewhere, being that he's an indoor cat.

I hope he returns this morning as he will obviously be wanting his breakfast. Have another search round the area today and check with your neighbours.

I realise you may already know what to do when cats are lost but often when it's your own, your mind can go a blank. Here's Smudgley link to good advice again just incase you need it......

Keeping my fingers crossed for Broxi's safe return and sending ((((hugs))) to you....x

Another thing that might be helpful is put a litter box with his scent on it outside on the porch. That may lead him home faster if he got disoriented.
Good thoughts coming your way..

[angieh]

Positive "Come home Broxi" vibes coming from me Alex. Do hope he comes home soon.

[yola]

Alex, sending come-home wishes out to Broxi. With him being indoor-only, you must be so very worried. Hugs to you all . . . and fingers crossed.

[alexgirl73]

Thanks all. Still no sign of him. been out in the car so many times, walked up and down the street shaking his food dish, nothing!! The worst bit was having to phone up our lost and found co-cordinator and put him on the list, that's when I lost it :( The weather is starting to turn nasty here, adn I'm feeling sick at the thought of him being out in it. I want my baby back!!

[yola]

I wish I were closer, I'd be out there with you looking. Have you tried close by? Chances are he was spooked and just (hopefully) hid somewhere really near to home. Also, if you can go on foot rather than the car . . . he will hear your voice that way.

[Elaine]

Fingers firmly crossed here for a swift and safe return xxx

[alexgirl73]

It's getting dark now and no sign of him :( The girls both burst into tears when they came home and there was no Broxi to meet them at the door. Where is he????

[dandysmom]

Oh Alex, I'm so sorry; you must be out of your mind with worry. That's a good suggestion about going on foot and calling, also the litter box. I hope he's hiding nearby and will find his way home very soon (((hugs))) Prayers coming.

[alexgirl73]

we've walked,driven, called, shook food dishes, put food out, litter etc. Put up posters, informed local vets, put him on the CP lost list, don't think there is anything we haven't done. it's teeming down with rain now, the girls keep crying, I'm close to losing it. I just want him home!! Now I know I could never have outdoor cats, I'm an absolute wreck.

[dandysmom]

Don't despair; a friends indoor cat managed to slip out and was missing for two days... they finally found her just down the block hiding under a front porch; she finally responded to their calls. Is Broxi microchipped?

[Moli]

Hope and pray he will come home soon...Hugs....x

[kado]

I hope she comes home soon.

[calismum]

I'm praying he comes home soon. Fingers crossed for his safe return.

[borderdawn]

Im sure he will be back soon, fingers crossed for you.

[alexgirl73]

Still no sign. Off to bed now to try and get some sleep. Not sure how successful that will be!!! If he's not home by midday, then we're going to do a leaflet drop up and down the street and the neighbouring ones. Will let you know asap if there is any news. thanks all for your good wishes xx

[Mags]

I really hope he'll be waiting at the door for you in the morning, Alex.

Try to get some sleep, hugs to you and your family ...xx

[alexgirl73]

Another day, another search. The black cloud hanging over this house is horrible, no one can rouse themselves to smile. None of us slept well last night. the food we left outside the front door has gone, but obv we don't know whether that was him or not. So we've put more out just incase. Going to print off leaflets in a little bit. Please come home Broxi xxxx

[Mags]

So sorry there's no sign of Broxi this morning.

Stay positive, Alex, remember how Chester turned up for DM after several weeks missing? There's always hope.

[angieh]

I think the leaflet drop is a very good idea. I expect someone has taken him in, the weather being what it is. I have my fingers and toes crossed that he's safe and warm and dry.

[smudgley]

I hope your boy comes back soon Alex.

[dandysmom]

Still hoping, Alex .........

Is there any news of Broxi, Alex? I do feel for you, I now have indoor only cats through not wanting the stress and upset. I have one who escapes out at every chance tho, Felix, he jumps out the lower window s if they are open and we have panicked when we find him missing. He has always been hiding in the garden under a bush, even in very bad weather once, and we have to drag him out but its almost defiance with him, I have got out, two finger salute type of thing. He never comes whn we call him or rattle food bowls, etc, sound s silly but its all new to Broxi and maybe he/she is very close but not coming out. Leaflet dropping, putting posters on lamp posts around about and in shop windows and offering a reward are your best options. Thinking of you, Jan x

[Moli]

Hoped so much he would be back by now....

[alexgirl73]

:cry: :cry:

I can't take much more of this. We did the leaflet drop in the surrounding streets today, and tomorrow we will do some more of the outlying streets. So desperate for the phone to go and someone to say they have him, or to open the door and he's there. The weather is vile, and I'm in bits thinking of him out in it. The girls don't want to go the fireworks tonight, not in the mood, and I'm so worried about them making him go even further if he's still outside.

[Phoenix]

Only just seen this thread - hope Broxi comes home soon :(

[angieh]

I am so sorry he's still missing Alex. My heart goes out to you and your family.

[alexgirl73]

Oh heard a cat yowling and went to the front door to check (for the hundredth time over the last few days) and he came out from underneath our car and straight into the house! Cue all of us hugging him and crying:-D He seems to be fine, will watch him like a hawk tomorrow to make sure there are no side effects, but he doesn't seem to have been fighting. My baby is home!

[smudgley]

thank goodness he's back. :cool:

[MrsH]

Brilliant news! So pleased he's back. Shame they can't tell us where they've been and what they've been up to!

[kado]

Such brilliant news. They dont half worry us. Give him a fuss from me please. Like MrsH said i wish they could tell us where they have been.

[Moli]

I am so pleased he is back Alex, what s relief for you.....Give him a huge hug from me....:D

[Phoenix]

So glad to hear he's back :D Give him a big hug and a stroke from me and tell him not to worry his mum like that!

[dandysmom]

We can exhale now!! I'm so glad, Alex that it was a happy ending. Naughty boy to scare everyone so!

[alexgirl73]

Thank you all :D We're all just over the moon here. And I think he is getting a wee bit fed up with being fussed over lol.

[Mags]

Wonderful news Alex, I'm so pleased for you all!:)

[jan]

:D They dont half take years off our lives, dont they!! Great news! Jan x

[calismum]

So, so pleased to be reading that he's home. You must all be so relieved and happy.

[angieh]

Excellent news Alex! I am so pleased for you, your family and Broxi ............. phweeeeeeew!

[yola]

That's just the best news! I'm so very, very pleased to be reading that. I hope Broxi remembers his 'adventure' as a negative thing and hopefully will be in no hurry to repeat it!!

[Elaine]

So glad to hear that Broxi is now home xxx

[random]

Awww so glad to here he is home the wee rascal!

[borderdawn]

Brilliant news!!!!!!
