If someone can help me or give me a way to find a solution

what exactly happens when you connect the usb cable to the unit? Conrtesemente record with the mobile phone placed on the hdd the start of the disk and attach it in the forum. Thanks

First kill the cat. If data is important seek professional help. If data is not important follow the adwise you get on this site and YouTube.

in macos it says it failed to mount the hdd
under windows the disk appears RAW I tried the chkdsk command but it displays a message to me it could not recognize the file system

yes it is important for me that's why I want to restore it

Noooooo! Cats are cute. I'm pretty sure when the cat saw that drive s/he thought "This cable is not needed. I'm gonna do you a favor and just remove it". Or "let's nuke the planet". Or something similar.

Cats are undercovered agents who are paid by DR professionals to get as many customers as possible.

yeah, i feed 3 but they haven't brought me any jobs so far...
maybe i will just stop it.

There is a high probability of media damage, so DIY would be risky. If you don't wish to pay for data recovery services, then the least dangerous DIY approach would be to clone your drive with HDDSuperClone. Then run data recovery software against the clone.

BTW, I have a dog. She respects my personal property, and I have never had to train her to do so. My first dog was the same.

my cats respect the terms inside and outside (except one that sometimes tries to swap theese two but soon he finds out the correct meaning)

So these poor folks are smart enough to deserve their everyday wage, which i will keep giving them i think...

I have 3 dogs (adapted strays) and 7 cats (they live with my mother-in-law in a seperate apartment).
I've raised more than 20 dogs in my life, they never ever went inside the house, at least not without invitation. Cats are exactly the opposite, they will get inside to explore what's there. They're curious.

Having said that, I'm 100% dogs kinda fella. I don't mind when cats are around, but can't stand much of them. Maybe it's because when I was a kid I had a nice souvenir from a cat that nearly left me blind when I simply tried to pet her.

Anyway, completely off topic, sorry about that.

btw, cats learn pretty well, but you need to be very straightforward with them. Usually it is better to use objects (slippers, china or whatever you have at hand) to teach them, otherwise they seem to get suspicious with you.

Since this thread has gone seriously astray, let's go full stop to the cats & dogs territory, with a brilliant behavioral comparison by the almighty George Carlin...

Back to the main subject though, if “bahaedin” is still around : if, as it seems to be the case, there was a sudden power loss during a write operation, although the SMART status doesn't report any “reallocated” or “pending” sector, you may have what is known as a “logical bad sector” (or a small bunch of them), i.e. a sector on the drive which is not physically defective, but is in an inconsistent state, and it can mess with the O.S. to the point where the drive can no longer be mounted (it can also freeze the system if it keeps on trying). The solution, if that is indeed the case, is to 1) first do a complete clone (device to device) or image (device to file), with ddrescue or HDDSuperClone, from a USB live system (like this one which includes all the necessary tools) ; 2) then, if all goes well, at the end a very small area will appear unreadable (the area which was being written when the power loss happened) : based on the location and length of that area found in the log file, running a custom command to overwrite only that specific area with 00 bytes should fix the problem in-place. Then you would have to delete and re-copy that file since the copy got interrupted. And thoroughly check the whole drive's contents before deleting / repurposing the image / clone.
See this (two distinct HDDs are mentioned, the relevant part is the stuff about the 1TB HGST HTS541010A9E680) :
