Missing Cat

We realized Saturday evening that we hadn't seen Max all day. We looked all around our house, the neighbors' houses,  in the rain, all through the house, too, three times! We were getting ready to put out posters we had made on Sunday morning when our neighbor texted me asking if our cat was missing. He was hanging out on their porch. It had stormed three times during the time he was out, so I think he got spooked and wouldn't leave their porch. The girls were pretty happy to see him, especially Lily. She had been ready to lead a search party in the "deep dark woods" flashlight ready. I was happy to see him, too...for a few seconds...and then I was mad at him for being a stupid cat to sneak outside and not come when we called him!
