[Prudence]

We've been taking turns going up and down the streets all evening. Ryan crawled under a neighbor's house. We've talked to so many neighbors, His flyer is up everywhere. Everyone we meet says "oh, we saw your flyer." I guess that's good. I even talked to the UPS driver.

I just don't know what to think. The only other time he got out, he started meowing as soon as he heard my voice. That hasn't happened this time. I don't know if that means he's not close by - maybe he jumped in the back of someone's pick-up and took a road trip, or maybe he followed a kitty in heat, or maybe he just decided to break character and strike out for a distance - or if he's too scared, or if maybe he's sicker than I thought and just, you know.....

That cat has so much personality. The apartment seems empty without him. So quiet. No one jumping up on laps or the table or eating plants or causing a ruckus.

We put out food and water for him, and his cat carrier so he has something to hide in if he comes back. I want to sleep with the door open tonight (with Sasha locked up), but I'm guessing that's not a great plan.
