Dexter, who is ShallowsSquirt's (and our) goofy male neutered and microchipped cat, went out three nights ago and hasn't come back. He normally doesn't go out of our yard, but does have a tendency to get closed up in people's garages.
He also has a tendency to pick fights with cats he should not fight with. He talks the talk, but tries to chicken out at the last minute. He is certainly large enough (16 lbs ) but somehow he comes out on the losing end of stuff.
I really don't think he has left the area of the Shallows, but I have a really bad feeling that he may have tried to fight a raccoon, as they are everywhere lately. He would definitely have come out on the wrong end of that deal. Snakes are also crawling now. Fuzz has walked everywhere around and hasn't found him.
Anyway...if you drive down East Point Washington Rd and/or Dick Saltsman Rd, please keep a lookout...
