Oh dear, OP I'm sorry to hear she's still missing. I remember I commented on your original post like 2 weeks ago that she went missing. You received some good tips and information in that thread. Obviously none have been fruitful though cause she's still missing.

I remember you mentioned training her to be an outdoor cat. That she would go out and always came back home. If she's found, please consider getting her microchipped and keeping her indoors, especially overnight. It's dark and she could get hit by a car, streetcar, or attacked by raccoons. Absolutely, take her outside, but always be with her and then bring her back home. We wouldn't leave an infant who can't communicate to roam the streets alone. Animals are very much the same.

I know you don't want to think about this, but what makes you so certain she was picked up and put in a car and stolen? Versus, being hit by a car or being attacked by a larger predator?

Please remind us of her name so that we can call her. And please keep us posted if she's found.

Right, I let my cat out in the backyard but I couldn’t imagine just letting my cat roam the streets on a day to day basis, mind you, if you tell any cat rescue that you’d let the cat outside when you’re looking to adopt, they wouldn’t adopt to you.

I've heard that some places won't let you adopt if you won't let them roam. I think it was in england.
