I am surprised that so many people allow their cats out.  My boyfriend 
and I have a cat (whose name happens to be Lily, but not on purpose) 
and we would never ever ever ever let her out.  Of course, we live in 
Manhattan and letting cats out here is dangerous and stupid, but 
still.  The corner store had the best cat in the world and she used to 
wander across the street to the little park and chill in the dirt 
there... and then she ate poison and died last week.  I cried.  She 
wasn't even a year old.  If anything happened to Lily, I'd go nuts.

Lily won't leave our apartment even when we open the door and stand in 
the hall.  She's terrified.  We love to call her wimpy cat.  :-)

Anyway, cats do have a tendency to wander around and come home when 
they feel like it.  I agree, though, that posting flyers around is a 
good idea in case someone thinks they have just "found" the cutest 
kitten around.  People are surprisingly nice about returning pets to 
their rigntful owners.

I hope you find your cat.  Now I'm going to worry about it.  Keep us 
posted!
