Poomba no more!

It has been a sad weekend in our household... Poomba, one of our cats disappeared on Saturday. He usually goes out during the nice weather, but never ventured too far. And he always comes back at night for food, cuddles (though he hates them) and a nice place to sleep. This past Saturday he went out, but never came back. We have been walking around the neighborhood, and we have not seen him. We are hoping he just got lost and not killed by a car or some other awful event.
Poomba has been with us since we bought the house 4 years ago. He was/is a pain in the butt: he steals food from your plate, gets up on the counters, eats like a pig (first he gets his food all over the floor and then he eats it), but he was ours and we loved him. He was also one of those strange cats who loved ice-cream and bananas, hated soda, loved to cuddle and be petted on his own terms and only for certain amounts of times!
We keep hoping that one day he will come back, but until then we are just sad!
