My cat normally sleeps next to me at night, but he hasn't shown up. What should I do?

It is currently 2am and I have yet to see my cat walk into my room and sleep next to me for the night. I decided it was time to start looking for him, as I get overly anxious and think up irrational fears and thoughts.

I searched his favorite hiding spots, cabinets, closets, everything I could think of. I even checked everybody else's rooms! The rest of my family sleeps with their doors closed, so I thought he may have been stuck in there. No sight of him at all. My whole family is asleep, so it's not like I can ask them for help.

I took out some cat treats and started shaking them, hoping he would come running like he usually does. Still no sign of him.

A while back I had the same issue. Except that time, he was trapped under our deck in the cold for a while day. He is my best friend and I still haven't forgiven myself for that. If he is lost, I'll end up freaking out and yelling at myself.

Does anybody have any ideas as to what may be going on? Did he just get tired of me and devide to ditch me? Where else could he be hiding?!

(Hopefully this is allowed, if not, I'm sorry)So, out of curiosity, what animals are you allowed to keep as pets in NZ(New Zealand)?

I'm mostly just curious, but also I want to know for some future pets, I do know some of the animals that I am allowed to keep in NZ already, so it's not like I'm completely in the dark.

Relocation With Elderly Cat

Hello Reddit,

I've recently accepted a job offer now that I have graduated uni that will be relocating me to the other side of the United States. Back at home, I have an older cat (~12 y/o) that I have been only able to see during my trips back home since I have been living with roommates that neither wanted animals in the house and in locations that were not cat friendly. I plan on moving into a studio or 1 bed apartment in my destination city.

The issue I run into is that my cat has been living with my parents and dog (which was added to the family 1-2 years later) and has spent most of his life in a rather decent sized house (multi bed/bath). With all of the beings around the house, he's never really by himself with the dog around. I will be living by myself and be commuting into work 3 days a week for 8+ hours a day and then go out from time to time for various necessities or events. Not only would he be subjected to a new, much smaller environment, he would be by himself for extended periods of time on an almost daily basis.

My folks want him out of the house to come live with me. I would obviously love to have him as I care more for that angry ball of fur than a lot of other things in life, but I have these worries that all the new stresses, new environment, and greatly decreased amount of living being interaction will quite frankly tremendously decrease his life and/or make him miserable in the process as I understand that cats despise change.

I'm so torn about what to do.

Inside cat wants to be outside cat

So I have this cat that’s almost 3 years old. He’s always been an indoor cat but ever since he was a baby he’s only wanted one thing, to be outside. We tried to keep him inside only but after so long of endless nights of him crying and literally pawing the door to be let out we decided to let him out under strict supervision. He LOVED it. He would run and play and stalk the grass and bugs. Then we would pick him up and put him back inside and he would sulk and act depressed, and again that night sit at the back door and scratch and cry at it. My boyfriend wants to just put him outside and allow him to be an outside cat, but I’m worried because I know the dangers that come with having an outside cat. I don’t want him to effect wildlife, I don’t want him to be hit by a car, I don’t want him to get into a fight with a tomcat from the neighborhood (we have a high population of ferals in our neighborhood) but I feel so bad keeping him inside his whole life when he just wants to be outside. What do I do? Keep him trapped inside or get some sort of GPS collar and let him be outside?
