Thank you so much for your concern everyone. It really really means a lot. And thank you especially for understanding HOW important this is - it seems like the people around me (everyone except my bf) think I'm overreacting and freaking out over "just" a cat... He IS my baby! I had to go see my sister's play tonight (wouldn't have left the house unless it was necessary) and there were all this women with babies (human babies that is) and I felt so jealous because mine was missing! Ok that's maybe a bit freaky but I don't care, that's exactly how I feel and who cares if people think I'm overreacing.
I know he probably hasn't gotten far but I'm just sooo worried about him. If I had some sign that he was for sure in the yard or the neighbour's yard just hiding then I could have some hope but we haven't had any sign of him all day We went out looking for him, knocking on neighbour's doors to see if they'd seen him and to see if it was ok if we could look through their whole yards, garages etc... and then we looked again at night with a flashlight. Nothing. I'm really worried that he darted into our backyard just into the gardens and then our neighbours' dog came out next door and frightened him and he ran further or something... I just wish I knew where he was and that he was safe.
I tried making the regular 'feeding time' noises all over the place to see if he would come, but he's so timid I think it would take a lot for him to come running out outdoors. I've now put up posters around our neighbourhood and I'm going to place a newspaper ad tomorrow and call the humane society again.
And of course my IBS is terrible... it's already been pretty bad the last week or so but now with all this stress and pain it's just horrid. I've probably been in the bathroom at least 10 or 15 times today between searches
Again, thank you so much for all your support and advice. It really does mean a lot. I will keep you updated; hopefully I will have an update for you tomorrow morning saying that he's home safe and sound.
