James

So, my cat James has been gone for nearly two days now. I'm extremely worried. James is an indoor/outdoor cat and he usually does his rounds in the morning but is meowing at the door by the afternoon to be let in. I haven't seen him since I went to work yesterday morning. See, now he's done this before at the old house, he was missing for nearly four days and he turned up, one evening meowing at the window. I'm praying that this is one of those escapades. It's one of the few times that he doesn't have his collar on, because I haven't been able to get him a new one since he lost it. It's not like him at all to miss meals. I'm so scared. I feel like such a freak, being a huge baby over a cat, but James is my eldest. He's my baby boy. Jordan says that if he doesn't show in the next day, then I should call the shelters to see if they picked him up, or to ask the neighbors. He seems confidant that James will come home, but every hour that passes without a meow at my door, my heart sinks lower and lower.
