Ok, had to write this for support from you all. My feral, fed for 3 yrs daily, is missing. He usually is there in morning by 6-7am or bit later. He then later in morn, lays in shade on patio under us in the empty apt patio below. He is nowhere to be found. He is about 5yrs old & well fed. But he's FiV pos. So, I worry in this AZ heat that he'll dehydrate further damaging kidneys.

Ok, anyone have ideas? If he is hurt in a fight, lost in some way, runover, etc. he wouldn't be able to make it back here outback of our apt, aka his outside home, to where he lays from mid-morn on under us daily. I'm really very worried. He has his 2 cold water bowls but so far no sign of him. Maybe at dusk he'll come if he's able & hungry. No idea tho, as he hasn't done this in over a yr. There's 2 female cats he pals around sometimes w/ & they were seen out back this morn, & usually he hangs w/ them but no him yet. Very unusual for him.

TY so much Willowy! He is HOME! :)

Saw him at 5pm out of nowhere, he just appeared. I know I'm thrilled & my g/f thinks I'm nuts. But I push the panic button if I can't find him ALL day. I can sleep again tonite.

TY again for caring & trusting me to give him time to come back. He ate very well his raw Vital Essentials turkey medallions, too. A good, hungry boy he must have been. :)

Hope he doesn't disappera tomorrow tho.

I just to roam my neighborhood in search of my feral cats when they would go missing. Every time, they always came back. Yet it didn't stop me from worrying.

So glad he made it back home.
