ugh that's terrible! i have an anxious baby too, i don't even want to think about how awful it would be if he escaped.

Frequently, she lets out these gut-wrenching high-pitched miaws, as if looking for her.

I'm no expert, but if you put Daughter in a cat stroller and took her for walks through the neighborhood, I wonder if that would draw Mom back to you?

Yea we thought of something similar, but we're too scared. It'll probably also stress out the younger cat even more, and she already hasn't eaten for 2 days.

I tried recording her to maybe play back on a speaker while walking around, but it's very tricky to capture properly.

yeahhhh that makes sense, you have to consider her comfort and stress of course. I'm so sorry, I hope Mom comes home or is found soon 😭

Thanks, I hope so too.
