A couple summers ago, ours disappeared for almost two months. Our daughter has some serious, long-term health issues, and the cat has a unique relationship with her - she was pretty broken up about it. One day, he just pops through our dog door, like Kramer making an entrance on Seinfeld. I wish he could tell us the story about where the heck he'd been for two months - when he showed back up, he was dirty and disheveled.

I hope your cat just turns out to be a wanderer.
