tbh im really sad at the moment, sorry im sure you dont wanna hear this, but smudge (my cat) you may laugh but he is really special to us....he has been out since 4 and not come back since, he usually comes back every 20 mins for food or just to get warm but its 11pm now and i have looked around the courtyard and even shaken his favorite snacks and nothing 
I dont understand....he did this once before and stayed out for ages but that was in summer, warm and he came back at 8pm...im so scared...i always see "missing cat" signs these days and think "that will never be my smudge" you know but im so scared..and im so sad im crying...
i bet you all think i sound like such a dickhead but he means so much to us, me and alan went and got him (our first cat) before we were even living together when he was 9 weeks old, he will be 2 in may.......he has always been, i shouldnt say this 'our favorite' you know, because he means to much to us and our relationship, he is the only one that is allowed to sleep in the bedroom with us now Jakob is here, well if we dont he jumps up and pulls the door handle and meows and scratches the door!
he loves his cuddles and sleeping on the bed next to us, if i ever try and have a nap in the day i can be sure smudge will be on the bed and i will cuddle up with him, does it sound stupid?...
every night for the past nearly 2 years he has been asleep on the bed or somewhere at this time...and tonight he is not here..not around, i have been calling him since 7pm...he hates the cold! and when we got back tonight all the food was gone so he cant of eaten yet so he should of come home for dinner im so scared what if this is it? what if our smudge has gone...i would be out looking more but im alone with jakob, alan is on a nightshift...even if smudge was around id hear his bells on his collar and i cant....he has had the chop too so i cant use that reason for him to go far...please tell me it will be ok and he will be back im so worried and upset
