Losing hope

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.
