PetLink Lost Pet Database: Michael

Circumstances

I work from home. Yesterday when i finished work at 5, i came downstairs but couldn't find michael. He's usually waiting for me at the bottom of the steps. He ALWAYS comes running when I call his name, but yesterday he didn't. He's very vocal, very smart, and very mischievous. I knew something was wrong when he didn't come running when I called for him. I searched everywhere inside but couldn't find him anywhere. I went outside. Neighbors saw me looking for him outside, and they said they saw him near the porch earlier, probably around 3 or so. They said the previous tenants had a cat that somehow found a way outside through the basement. Michael seems to have done the same. He is no longer near the porch. I don't know where he went after he was seen near the porch and neither do the neighbors. I Checked around the neighborhood on foot and by car. I left his litterbox outside, food, and places for him to hide. I stayed up late and left the porch light on. He has not yet returned.
