One of my cats vanished on New Year’s Eve one year, because my idiot friend who came to pick me up left the door open for ten minutes when he showed up. I was distraught and spent New Year’s Day driving around the neighborhood and calling for her. Turned out she was just hiding under the house and she came running back in that night and never went near the door ever again.
Five months! I can only imagine your joy after being reunited.
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.
