I lost my familiar..Does this mean something?
It's been about 5 days my male neutered cat has been gone. I am in tears and very sad… I've had him for almost two years and he was such a good cat. I'd spoil him with lots of TLC and the food he preferred. He spoke to me like no other cat. He understood me completely and I the same. He was and in/out cat. He was sleeping during the daytime inside my home (after he'd have his morning meal) and then after he'd wake up in the afternoon, he'd play with me or just cuddle and then before midnight he would ask me to go outside (until the next morning). This was his routine in summer time. I know he might have gone exploring but..5 days???….He is also a neutered male so why is he gone that long? I am really worried that something bad happened to him but avoid thinking about it all the time and hope he'll return. I went out looking for him and posted his photo in certain locations in the area. Could his sudden absence mean something for me?? Am I about to face some kind of new turn in my life? or could this be a bad omen or something??

Your first priority is to try to find out what happened to your pet. Cats like to wander and they can wander very far and get themselves into trouble. Putting up posters is a good start. You also need to contact any animal shelters in your area and put an ad on Craigslist at the least. (I found the owner of a dog that was living in my backyard on Craigslist. They lived over 40 miles away and hadn't seen him in 4 months!)
Familiars are spirit creatures, but cannot reside in a physical body forever. The physical body is susceptible to damage and age. If you cat has died and he was truly your familiar, he will remain with you in spirit and may enter the body of another animal to live with you in the future. I do not know what this could mean for you personally, it could mean a change in direction for your life, or it could just mean that your cat met with some accident. I suggest you meditate and pray upon it.
I cannot believe I found my lost cat..just yesterday on the full moon!!! I prayed to Artemis 3 days ago and asked her to have my cat found and returned to me by the full moon..believe it or not, it did!!! It was trapped in my next door neighbor's attic while they were away! I could faintly hear him mowing for help and once I realised it was him I started calling out his name even louder until somehow this must have made him find his way (and it's strange he didnt do this before) onto the neighbor's balcony where now he could at least see me. Here comes the next strange thing, the neighbor arrived within 20 minutes after locating my cat in his house! He opened his home right away so I could go inside and get my familiar! As soon as my cat saw me he jumped to me with relief. But now, he is very needy of my attention and wants to cuddle all the time! I'm just thankful to the Gods that I found him. Thank you morningbird!
I am SO glad you found him. Oh my goodness, did the neighbor think he was adopting your cat or did the cat somehow get stuck inside by accident? Cats can get into the weirdest predicaments! I had a cat who the neighbors though they adopted and the cat basically had two homes for several months. I had become aware of it, but their kids liked the cat so much that I didn't say anything (My kids liked him too, he was rare kid cat). But then they moved and took the cat with them! We were heartbroken.
Thank you! I am SO glad I found him too! He was not adopted by these specific neighbors, just got trapped in their attic while they were away for a few days. But I can understand how some cats do this by having two homes at once..Felines can be naughty sometimes..lol That's why tags are necessary I guess. What I will do asap is get him a tag - I feel bad for not looking after this in the first place. Do your kids have their own pet now?
Well they're big now. My daughter has her own place with two roommates and they've got three cats and a dog between them. My son's cat lives with me because he's going to the military.
This post brought me hope. My familiar of 17 years just passed and I've felt an emptiness I can't explain. I've lost pets before but she was obviously so different. I know she'll find her way back but in the meantime this is unbearable.
Your familiar is still with you in spirit. She/ he will come back in a physical form. Just find comfort knowing they are always with you. This thread gave me hope as well. Mine past in May.
