My injured cat went missing. Will he come back and is he okay?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

my cat was injured near neck severely (maybe a dog-bite). I was about to take her to vet but he went off the home 3days ago. and didn't come back yet. How can I know if he'll come back and is he alive and okay? :'( I get second thought that he must have been fallen prey to street-dogs and the other moment I can't accept this. Please help.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your cat. I am so sorry to hear about your situation. You can place his favorite food outside to try to entice him to come home and search the surrounding area. Maybe a neighbor has seen an injured cat. If there is a local veterinarian, ask if anyone has brought an injured cat to the hospital. I hope he returns home soon.
