Boris is [WAS] missing

[Prudence]

As most of you have heard by now, Boris is missing.

When we woke up this morning, we noticed that Boris didn't come jump on the bed as soon as he heard the sounds of waking humans. We got up, and as I looked around the living room I noticed that I couldn't see either cat. Neither of them were on the chairs, or in the office, or in the bedroom, or in the cat box.....

As I went to check the landing, I saw that the front door was wide open. I don't know how or why the door was open. Nothing was missing- except the cats. I started to make panic noises and was running for clothes when I heard a jingling racing up the stairs - it was Sasha. So we do have one cat safe here at home.

But Boris was gone. We spent all day calling for him. We made and distributed flyers and talked to most of our neighbors. We went up and down the streets and alleys for 2-3 blocks in each direction, depending on where main streets were. Boris is a big scairdy cat, so we figure he wouldn't have crossed a major roadway. In fact, it doesn't make sense for him to have gone very far at all, but so far we haven't found him.

I have met every single other cat in my area, and there are a lot, and some are very noisy, but I have not found Boris.

Boris is my baby. He needs medication twice a day. He needs to come home. I don't know why he ran away or where he could have gone.

I've been sobbing all day. Tomorrow I will have to go to work, and I don't know how I'm going to manage it. I keep willing the phone to ring and it doesn't. I keep willing myself to hear his meow, but I don't. My poor Boris is gone and I just want to hold him again.
