Norwegian forest cats

Question
Good day Norman,

I am the proud owner of a Norwegian Forest cat named Alley. Eight days ago upon returning from work about 2 a.m. she greeted me while I was in the kitchen trying to get a early morning snack. I am accustom to her waking me up at 5 a.m. every morning which she does religiously to get her breakfast. This particular morning however, there was no Alley. I have not seen her since, it has been 6 very long long days that I have seen my cat. She just disappeared. I am truly sadden and heart broken. I am wondering if some one stole her or if this is part of her behavioral pattern.

I am from Jamaica and I live in fairly populated area. I have raised my cat from she was a very little kitten. She I well cared for as she has her own space and toys. I  would say she is an indoors/outdoors cat when she feels like it. She is a very good hunter. Whenever she catches  a mice outside she would always bring it back to show me but would never eat it. She also would hunt birds, some times mimicking the sound or behavior of the bird. When she caches these birds she would certainly eat them leaving feathers all over my lawn.

Her diet mostly consists of Whiskas, Friskies which is available locally or Fancy Feast Elegant Medleys when I travel to the US of A I would bring back that particular brand.

Norman I really don't which to take up much of your time  but the disappearance of my cat has left a void in my heart. My wife is deeply traumatized by her disappearance.

Do you think she would ever come back? Why has she left? Where is she gone?
My cat is Neutered, could this be a problem. Do all cat behave like this? It really is painful I have never lost a cat in this manner, so I find It quite strange. She is a part of our family and I miss her dearly.

I look forward to your response

Love and Thanks

Answer
Rayon,

Actually, neutered cats do better out of doors than entire cats.  Any one of a number of things could have happened to your Norwegian.

Not assuming the worst, she may be roaming farther and wider.  She may have been taken in by someone else, You will just have to see what develops.  There are tales of cats being gone for months, presumed dead, to suddenly appear again.

I do not want to hold your hopes up, because so many things can happen out ther.

Concerned regards... Norm.
