    She got into my garage somehow and I left food out. But when I went to grab her she took off and havent seen her since.

    I got her back, she was meowing at the back door so I opened it and she took off. Let dog out, she ran to dog and I grabbed her. She was covered in motor oil so I threw her in tub with some dawn. Then put a skin moisterizer on her. Hopefully shes not pregnant...

    Not to shabby for being out 3-4 days

    Is she not spayed? If she was in heat that may be why she went wandering in the first place.

    I'm glad you got her back in one piece!!!!

    She was due to get spayed in the next month or so. Just needed to get the other half saved up for it. Just got my other one spayed last month.

    I'm betting you can expect a litter of kittens in about 90 days. Years ago I had a cat the pulled the same trick. She clawed her way through the screen door to get out.

    I bet she got a bit frisky with the neighborhood Tom cat too LOL.

    I know this sounds barbaric but you could still spay her in a few weeks before the kittens get developed much. There are already so many millions of unwanted cats put down every year that bringing another 4-7 into the world (which could also produce more kittens) is just adding to the problem. I interned at a low cost spay and neuter clinic for almost two years and I cannot tell you how many pregnant cats came in to be spayed. Sometimes the bigger picture is more important.

    If you go through with the potential pregnancy, I'm sure those babies will be well loved and cared for. Keep us all posted on her progress!

    Yes, I would listen closely to what Natalie suggested. Especially if you are a bit short on the money front at the moment. Another 4,5,6,7 kittens and their associated food and vet fees would be enough to break the bank for a lot of people nowadays. And, the hassle of finding good, loving homes.
    ETA I meant to mention that she's a really pretty cat. What colour do you call that, it's like a tortiseshell without the white.

    i believe that every one who has owned a cat has had this happen. but there is one amazing thing on your side you may not have thought of. FOOD.. your cat knows u have unlimited food for her. they will always return for a bite to eat. try and place some wet food by the door. it may take a couple days but ull see no matter how much they want to adventure a hungry grumbly tummy always wins. she will be back in your arms before u know it:)
