Losing hope

[textualdeviance]

End of day 2, and still no Otter.

On the one hand, the other roaming cats around the complex are still roaming and still plenty healthy, so if he's sticking somewhat close to home, he's probably OK.

On the other hand, if he hasn't come back at all in this time, I'm not sure he recognizes this place as home.

I'm holding out some hope that he's just being the crazy teenager he is, and running around like mad getting some jones out of his system, and he'll come back eventually. And it could be that he's been by during the day when neither of us have been here to let him in. But... If he doesn't come back by the end of the week, I'm going to have to accept that he's gone.

I am most definitely not ready to face that, though.

I'm so sorry sweetie. Hopefully he still turns up. I know you've probably done everything already, but this article has a couple of tips I Definitely wouldn't have thought of: http://www.petrescue.com/library/find-pet.htm

Thanks for those tips!

I think we're going to wait to see if he comes back on his own in a couple more days, and if not, we'll try to get a trap somewhere. We may only trap some of the other neighborhood cats, but maybe we'll get lucky.
