One of our cats is missing and it& #39;s basically fucking awful
I have a plan
It& #39;s 4:30am, and it& #39;s totally calm out for the first time in a while. If I call to the cat, I can hear him yowling, one, maybe two gardens down. Fuck. Now I just need to wait for a sensible time to knock on doors, and find a socially distant way to do this.
Annoying thing is he& #39;s super timid of other people, so he might not come out for them.
Well, there goes sleeping.

Also he was a shit meow (but a loud purr). His brother can& #39;t purr properly, but meows like an ambulance on fire.
Don& #39;t hear anything now

The lady at the end of the road has a garden accessible without going through the house, and is letting me go round at night. Hopefully it isn& #39;t windy etc and we can get a better idea of where he is.
Searching the wood, we could hear meowing, but once we got where we thought was & #39;close& #39;, no more meowing. There are badger sets in the area⌠but surely he can& #39;t be underground, we wouldn& #39;t have heard him?

Went back to the spot. No meowing at all anymore. Will try again when it& #39;s dark, when it& #39;s quieter. Had so much hope at 4am. Devastated.
Took this a week ago. During the night he purrs in my face until I create a loop with my arm for him to sleep in.
He shuffles around until his back paws are in my hand, for whatever reason.
I& #39;d quite like him to come & do this again.

Went back out. No sign, no sounds. I feel we& #39;ve lost the "find the cat" game. I hope it was impossible, else I& #39;ve let my little buddy down.
I& #39;ve really appreciated all your stories of cats returning after a long time. They helped. But I don& #39;t think it& #39;s the case here. Going to try and move on, else it& #39;ll paralyze me for weeks.
Goodnight Kimi, you were a good boy.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đż" title="Crying cat face" aria-label="Emoji: Crying cat face">

If that wasn& #39;t bad enough, the dishwasher& #39;s broken too. Guess we& #39;ll have to have a double memorial.
Or maybe there& #39;ll be a happy ending where he just turns up, fixes the dishwasher, and curls up on the bed like nothing happened.

And thanks for putting up with me posting all this. I think writing it down has really helped. Maybe I should just get a diary. But y& #39;know, no thought goes unpublished.
HE& #39;S UP A FUCKING TREE. Fire brigade on their way.
