Sid went missing on Friday. When I came home from work, a window was open, it’s screen was on the ground and no cat to be found. He either fell out, or jumped out, but since we’re on the second floor he could not jump back in. A bunch of us went out looking, put up signs, notified neighbors, checked craigslist for found kittens and called shelters. Saturday morning at 5am I was convinced I heard him cry outside the window and went out to look for him, but no luck.
4 days came and went and no word from Sid. Did he find himself a Nancy? Was he still exploring? Did something happen to him? Did someone pick him up and wanted to keep him? We’ve heard stories about cats that been missing for weeks and even months that later found their way home, but Sid had never been outside and would not know his way around. For every day that passed I tried to get used to the fact that he might not come back, but then today at lunch I got a call; our neighbors found Sid, he’d been hanging out in their garage! Now he is back home, he had a bath and he is ruling the house as per usual. He think, that just cos he’s been gone for a few days, it’s ok for him to hang out on the kitchen table.
