Please spread the word for this lost cat. Hunter was LOST on August 14, 2024 in Richmond, QC J0B 2H0 near rue principale nord
Message from Owner: my cat "hunter".. only 10 months old... an unneutered full grown male, wearing a dark blue collar, has been missing for 20 days now, he is very nervous... so he would be hiding under a porch, under a car or in a shed...
and there are 3 types of lost cat behaviors and Hunter is considered to be a catatonic/xenophobic cat –
xenophobia means “fear of strange or foreign things.” Xenophobic cats are afraid of anything new or unfamiliar. Their fearful behavior is ingrained in their character; it is caused by the kitten's genetics and/or experiences (nature or nurture). These cats hide when a stranger enters their and usually don't come out until well after company has left. They do not tolerate human contact well (being held, petted, etc.) and are easily disturbed by any change in their environment. Once displaced, they flee and then hide in silence. They tend to stay in the same hiding place and become almost catatonic, immobilized by fear. If found by anyone other than their owners, they are usually mistakenly considered untamed or "wild." The main strategy for recovering these cats would be to set humanely baited traps. Xenophobic cats that get “lost” are regularly absorbed into the feral cat population.
so if I can ask everyone to look under their porch, inside there sheds, anywhere a cat might be hiding. It makes it easier if I ask you to search, because I can't just walk into people's yards and start searching for my cat, and going door to door would be tiring, so please if you see this message, please go and take a look to see if my cat "hunter" could be hiding somewhere in your backyard.
believe me, I'm not being lazy and I don't just sit here and post, hoping that it finds my cat... since he left, I've been going out every night, shaking a bag of food, calling his name, and every night I walk farther and farther with no results. my feet are ing me, I can't drive around looking for him, he's afraid of noises... and at this point I feel helpless but yet I feel guilty for sitting here at ... because he's been gone and it's been 20 days, and he's not out having fun, he's a scared cat, he's scared and hiding, and probably hungry at this point so every minute I'm here at , it's wasted time for me... I'm so tired but yet I won't stop, I'm determined to find my cat.
I don't sleep much... when I do, I wake up and the first thing I think is "I have to find Hunter." I'm completely obsessed at this point because I don't want to keep wondering what happened to Hunter? if he is dead or alive? A few years ago I had a cat that went missing and was never found, and it still hurts not knowing what happened to him, never finding him or his body, so I found myself without an answer. I am depressed because I know hunter is out there and scared and I can't do anything about it, even though I'm trying🥺
