Nysse went out on Tuesday evening and hasn’t come home since then. He’s been very predictable for a long time now, always coming home for food during the day, even if he’s out hunting at night. He’s never been gone this long.

I left the door towards the garden ajar all night and all day today so that he could come in whenever, even if we were all asleep or busy, but he hasn’t. There’s food in his bowl waiting for him but he’s not here to eat it.

Him getting lost or just wandering away doesn’t sound likely. He knows the neighbourhood, and hasn’t gone missing for a long time. A few weeks ago the cleaner accidentally shut him in a wardrobe, and it took a while before anyone thought to look for him there. And he’s occasionally snuck into the garage and gotten locked up by accident. I’m worried that he’s now sneaked into someone’s garage or basement or garden shed or something, without them noticing, and he can’t get out.
