Question
My male,neutered, declawed, indoor-outdoor 11 yr. old cat went out on January 3rd, and I haven't seen him since. Have gone to humane society every day. Have driven and walked the neighborhood for hours. Have made a flyer with his picture and given to neighbors. Any advice?

Answer
Hi Marilyn,

It sounds like you're doing everything you can, ask your mailman if he's seen your cat, they walk the neighborhood everyday and that's how I found one of mine.
I have to say that you should never let a declawed cat outside unless he's supervised and/or on a leash.  They not only have no defenses they can't even climb a tree to get away from a predator.  Good luck with finding him, I really hope you do.
