    I had a spayed cat that used to run away from May to October. He did it for five years or so, until our other cat went missing (probably eaten by a fox…). He always came back well-fed, but with a lot of scrapes and shit, and we strongly suspect he spent the summers fighting with (non-existant) bears over the territory… One year our neighbours called and asked us to get him, since he had stopped at their horse farm for a few days on his way home and beat their stable cats and ate their food… He also just sat and stared down a charging border collie once! The sucker some how lived 'til 19!

    Somewhere there’s a kid crying because the sweet orange cat who walked into their life 5 months ago has disappeared.

      Same, one of our cats went missing one Sunday night, showed up the following Thursday…that was bad enough.

      Funny/sweet bit though…the other cats gathered by the front door, which prompted my partner to open it, and there he was.

    He just went on sabbatical. Had to take a break from all that napping.
