@Greeneyes21 cannot remember if I mentioned it but as well as the facebook groups (I am a member of numerous and they are all very active) Nextdoor is a good site to register with and look on

@Greeneyes21 I was so upset to read about your missing kitten, I'd be absolutely devastated too. Bless your poor daughter, I hope she doesn't blame herself. Definitely keep trying with leaving food outside and taking the sibling kitty out (maybe the lost kitten will pick up his sibling's scent?). Are there any places nearby the kitten could get stuck like someone's shed? Not sure how countryside-y your acre is, perhaps he could have gone into a rabbit hole to hide? I really hope he comes home 
So sorry about your missing kitten @Greeneyes21 
It’s such a horrible feeling. I bet they are hiding somewhere and feeling scared to come out? I hope they come back home so you can all be reunited x

Just chillin’ on her big brothers’ slide. She’s absolutely loving roaming around the back garden.

I was tempted to give her a little push
she loves her naps
if you do can you try and get a videoI was tempted to give her a little push
There are rabbit holes alright and I was wondering if a cat might go in. Oh Lord, its like a needle in a haystack!@Greeneyes21 I was so upset to read about your missing kitten, I'd be absolutely devastated too. Bless your poor daughter, I hope she doesn't blame herself.

even if he has got into one he will be able to get out, cats are so bendy, if it was a small dog it would be more worryingThere are rabbit holes alright and I was wondering if a cat might go in. Oh Lord, its like a needle in a haystack!
Thanks again for all your advice and kind word and especially to the cutest kitty who crossed his paws for us!!
HE'S BACK!!!!
My God, we had some drama in the middle of the night! If anyone spotted us, they would have be arranging to have us locked up!!
So, my husband heard meowing in the middle of the night and hopped up so fast and legged it out the back door (without even putting on his trousers!!) The kitten disappeared again so husband got the sibling kitten and went out in the pitch dark with the kitten on a lead. There was a lot of meowing back and forth between the two. My husband called me so I came down in my pjs. I saw the kitten and tried to catch him but he was so fast. He ran off into a ditch but kept meowing. It was so frustrating as we knew he was there but it was pitch dark and he's black so I wasn't able to see him.
We tried then just walking slowly away with the sibling (picture little white kitten on a lead meowing like a mad thing) The black kitten started following cautiously. This stopping and starting went on for ages but eventually we got them both in the back door just by encouraging him to follow kitten walking on the lead!
I wasn't prepared for what happened next. I'm not used to cats at all as we've only ever had dogs. I brought the two kittens to their sleeping area and brought food close by. The white kitten went mad making growling sounds and when the black guy came near her, she hissed like mad and put out her two paws to fight. Is this normal? She couldn't relax at all with him there. I stayed with them for a good while in case they'd hurt each other. He was out of her life for 30 hours and she was treating him like an intruder! I was so surprised. I was so tired in the end, I had to leave them. She was still making this very strange growling sound even though black guy was just curled up in his usual spot.
We will try and name them today so they will no longer be black guy and white guy. I don't even know the sex but white one looks like a girl and black guy looks like a boy
I must get up now and I'm crossing everything that they're happy together again.
Thanks again everyone!!!!!!!

Don't worry about the growling and hissing. It's probably nothing to do with the kitten himself but I bet he will smell gross to his sister.
They'll get used to each other again don't worry. Just keep an eye on them when they're play fighting and if it gets too violent, just separate them.
Try and feed them from the same bowl as once they're comfortable with each other, they'll share food.
This news has made me so happy. Enjoy your fur babies!
Aww yay! I’m so glad you got him back.Thanks again for all your advice and kind word and especially to the cutest kitty who crossed his paws for us!!

Yeah, the growling and hostility should subside once his scent becomes familiar to her again. I have three cats and it’s like a Mexican standoff whenever one of them comes back from the vets because they can smell it off them.
This is the best news!!Thanks again for all your advice and kind word and especially to the cutest kitty who crossed his paws for us!!
