Smitty's been missing for over 1/2 an hour. 😢
I got home later than I meant to & when I got in my patio I could hear him whining through the window. I forgot to latch the gate closed & when I opened the door, the brat scurried out. I didn't expect either of them to because I knew they'd be hungry & they usually wait inside...yowling at me.
The few times that he has wandered off, he always comes back within 10-15 minutes.
I tried wandering around looking but my body keeps crapping out on me.

His collar has a bell and he talks a lot which makes it easy for me to hear him but it's completely quiet out.
I finally got him microchipped last month...I just want him to come home. damnit. 😟

Fuck. He's been gone over an hour now.
I don't know what to do. I've gone out 4x's now but my hips and knees are hurting so much tonight and they're causing me to be unbalanced. Plus it's dark out.
Fuck. I'm scared.

Maybe I'll drive around , real slowly calling out his name. He's such a squirrely bugger and loves to bolt whenever I try to pick him up and so I know that even if I do see/hear him while out driving, the chances of him letting me pick him up to get him in the car is slim.

I gave in and called Brother1 and he's coming over to help me look for Smits.
I fucking hate being disabled and incapable of looking for my own cat. It's just not fair. 😞

He and his wife just spent 30 minutes helping to look for him. They walked up and down a couple of blocks, had flashlights.
It's quiet as can be out which is very unusual for this area. Normally there will be noisy cars roaring down the main road 1/2 a block away or sirens.
I won't be sleeping much, if at all. 😢
I told Maddie to send a telepathic message to the brat teling him to come home and she'll let him chase her around the apartment, even though she hates it.

I’m so tired but I won’t let myself fall asleep. I’m keeping the thermostat low so it doesn’t kick on and keeping noise to a minimum so that I can hear him come home.

I’m falling apart. 😢

he didn’t come home. 😢😢😢😢😢
His food dish that I put out still has all the food. Called the shelter and put in his notice. Posted on Pawboost but it won’t let me share the post to Nextdoor so I had to do a screenshot shot and post it that way.
Now heading out to post flyers. Walked over to a couple of apartments across the street and right next door
