EDIT:: He's home!! I did another sweep just after midnight and found him on Morrison Ave. Thank you all so much for the ideas and extra eyes!!

Somerville, please help me find my son's cat before he comes home from camp today!

Mashga is the love of his life. He's an indoor kitty who loves to try to get into the downstair neighbor's apartment. Last night he escaped not only out the front door but out the enclosed porch door too.

Mash has a chip, but no collar. Yes, I am an asshole for not making him always wear a collar. Yes, if he never comes home I will never forgive myself. Beat me up in the comments, please just keep an eye out for the little guy?

I have been walking around the neighborhood for hours looking for him, nothing yet. I'm at Morrison Ave between Boston Ave and Pritchard. Since he went out last night when it was quiet and dark, I'm looking everywhere from Porter Square to Ball square in a circle.

If you see him, or are able to grab him, please email me at [email protected] or call me at 617-372-4373. I'll be out putting up fliers and shaking a bag of food if you want to say hello. I've called animal control and porter sq vet, and am posting on twitter and facebook too.

Thank you, neighbors.

Are you in the NextDoor community to cross post?

Have you put out a used litter box yet? Maybe he can smell this way back to the familiar.

Fingers crossed!

I am a bit outside Davis, so can't help with actual looking, but in case it helps to know, my cat got out a few years back, and it took 3 days for her to come home. I had almost given up on her being OK by then, but it turns out that cats usually don't go very far. But when they get scared/lost, they tend to panic and hole up and not come out or meow, even if they hear people calling them. So I would second the litter box, and if you can leave the door into the enclosed porch open so that he can come back in the middle of the night, that might also help. In my case, I was able to leave my back porch open, and my cat came home sometime the third night, presumably when she got hungry enough to force her out of whatever spot she was hiding in. It's apparently pretty normal for a frightened cat to take many days to to leave a hiding place, so don't give up hope if you can' t find him immediately.

I'm so glad for you! I saw all your flyers, and was trying to keep an eye out for the little guy, as I've been there and done that--I'm glad we both had a happy ending!
