Macbeth, don't worry too much; cats are everything but helpless. I hope you'll have news soon. Is your cat sterilized, and did you have its front claws removed? I never had cats, but it happened to people around me that their would go away for several days. Sometime they even turned really "wild" and survived on their own, not wanting to come back to settle at human homes again. One was even fleeing his owners when they saw him some days after, even though they had always treated him very gently.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. About the neutering: the ironic thing is that we were going to have him castrated the very day he 'disappeared' because he was getting in fights all the time.
I am in blood Stepp'd in so far, that, should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o'er.
