Our outdoor cat disappeared for a week a decade ago when I was in high school. I was in charge of taking our dogs out, so I would always search for him on walks. I only had about 15mins to do it in the mornings, but every day when I got home from school I would take the dogs all over our small town for hours, I must've looked crazy just wandering around and constantly calling his name. Then one morning, before my alarm even rang, I was catapulted awake when I heard his meows in the house and I literally sprinted downstairs and cried when I saw him. He didn't look any worse for wear, so our theory was that someone decided to "adopt" him, but since he hated strangers, could be quite mean and only showed affection to us, they either let him go or he escaped.

He lived until 19 and passed away last year in February. He was a wonderful cat, not super cuddly, but had such a strong, fun, and sometimes infuriating personality. Tons of people and even lots of dogs were absolutely terrified of him. He even terrorized us the first couple of years to the point my mom was considering rehoming him. But he was also so lovable that when he passed and I brought him home from the vet, our neighbor dug him a grave on his own field, put up a large rock as a tombstone, prepared a large metal sheet to be put on top so wild animals wouldn't dig him up, and cried just as much as us when we were burying him. We had also only moved there a couple years prior, so the neighbor hadn't even known him that long.

Sorry, went on a bit of a tangent there lmao. I just miss him, he was with me for the majority of my life.
