Fergus' Big Adventure

I'm hoping his adventure has a happy ending. Fergus, our cat, went out last night and did not come back. I would like to think that the phone is going to ring any minute to let us know that he's been found and that really, it was just some big mistake -- it's just that some kind family found him in their backyard late last night, thought he was lost, and kept him in.

Fergus lives in Toronto near Woodbine and Gerrard. He is a black and white cat (black top, white underside and legs, black and white face). He is a Manx so he has no tail. I'm worried sick about him. He has never been out this long before, and he has never been out overnight before. He is very friendly and talkative, although by now, he must be scared and hungry if he is still outdoors. He is not the brightest cat, sorely lacking in street smarts for sure, however, he does have his claws. I don't think he'll wander far from his yard unless he was spooked or scooped.

We've called Animal Control and the Humane Society. We've printed up flyers and dropped them off at the neighbours' mailbox. We've called the vets. He is microchipped so hopefully, this is enough to track him down.

I am sick with worry. This is the only thing that's on my mind right now.
