Thank you all, very much. I read your messages to my brother, over teh phone and he was quite touched. Amazed at the geographical range of folks who care. He is kind of numb at the moment, blaming himself for not shutting the window while he was gone. Cody is his most affectionate cat.

I *think* he will show up when he gets hungry, as Spaw says. My sister did a meditation and doesn't hold out much hope, but I still feel it is early and this cat can hide like none I've ever known before and will not let out a peep.

I've just printed up some flyers for bro to put up. I don't suppose it really means anything, but yesterday my dad would have been 92.

Thanks, again.
