Well, no sign of him yet. Thanks for all the kind words and good ideas. I have checked with all the neighbors and tried the food-bag-shaking trick until everyone probably thinks I've lost my mind. I will check with the local animal control organization tomorrow and also with the nearest vet. He's microchipped since he's a roamer, but he doesn't wear a collar. I've heard horror stories about them getting accidentally hung on fences and lawn furniture by their collars, so I've never wanted to put one one him. My dad and Dave think someone might have accidentally closed him in a garage and that he'll be back as soon as he's set free.

I feel somewhat better than I did when I posted this. My husband made me eat supper, which helped. I was supposed to go to study group tonight but canceled on that because I wanted to be around here in case he showed up or someone called. I'll keep y'all updated. Thanks again.

Psychocat, give Tabster some extra love tonight for me. He's a doll!
