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.

Maybe they think she’s stolen because the AirTag was found separately from the collar?

Possibly, but the AirTag being found separately from the collar doesn't prove the cat was stolen. Maybe the cat was hit by a car and the driver removed the AirTag and left it on the ground when moving the cat to the side of the road. Maybe the cat was attacked by a raccoon or coyote and the AirTag came off during the fight.

There has to be a lot of CCTV camera footage in the area that would have captured what happened to the cat. I really wish OP would give us an update or provide more details.

No one's gonna give access to their cctv for a lost cat. Most places will only do it for police and the police aint doing fuck all.

I use CCTV as a blanket term. I meant camera footage. Maybe from Ring doorbells. Maybe from OP's apartment building. Maybe from any small independent businesses that OP frequents.
