Missing my tortoiseshell cat "HAPPY" in Aiea

Aiea HI

Description

Name: Happy Age: 6 (born around Oct 2015) Microchip #:837562273 No collar because she would always squeeze out of them. Missing since December 17, 2021. Lost around Aiea/Pearlridge area. Took her out to potty one night and went back inside without her because she would always follow later. Happy never came back in that night. We just moved, so she was still getting used to the new house. It'd been a few months by that point, but she seemed fine until she left. The day she left she stayed under one of our beds all day, went to potty, and that was the last we saw her. She didn't have any external injuries from the looks of it. We think she was being bullied by the neighbor cats and that made her want to leave. We used to leave the slide door cracked open at night so she could go in and out, because she liked to explore at the old house. We didn't think the neighborhood cats were brave enough to come into the house, but we found out too late that they were. A few days after Happy disappeared, we left a trap at her food bowl in the laundry room. We found one of the neighborhood cats. We think the cats probably made Happy feel unsafe in her own home that she was just getting used to, so she decided to leave. What's worse is this was right before Christmas time and New Years, when rain ramps up and loud fireworks go off, so that makes us even more unsure of her status. We released the trapped cat back into the neighborhood. We miss her a lot and want to have a second chance with her. She's a shy tortoise-shell cat with almost no white fur except for a small part on the stomach and a bit of her chin. She's very sneaky, so it might be hard to spot her. We hope someone's feeding her well, but in the off chance that they see this post, we hope they'll let us retrieve her. Thank you very much. 🙏
