Missing Cat!

Apparently, while I was away, my cat, Popeye, is missing. He went out yesterday morning and hasn't come back. Usually he finds his way back from the neighboring yards and returns home. However, I just got back today and mom decided to tell me he was lost and that she called animal control to look out for him. I have already been outside three times since I have been home today, calling him, looking for him, walking around the neighborhood in search for him. At first, I wasn't going to get emotional and just assume the worst, but now I am at that point where I am scared and worried about him and his safety. I hope no one stole him and if they let him in their house, I hope they are taking care of him and feeding him, but I do feel like I should put up signs around the neighborhood on posts to let people know we are missing a cat. I may start them tonight if he doesn't come home.

Some vacation huh? It's not a home without my cat. I messaged my friend's mom who has an organization to trap cats and give them homes. I merely want them to keep an eye out for him. He couldn't have gotten far and I hope he is alright. I'd be devastated without him and I do feel like crying. I am wondering if he came in the house and is just sleeping. He usually does that. He just needs to fucking let me know he is alright.

I hope he is okay...

I really do...
