Trapping is just plain not an option around here, unfortunately. Too many cats. I have two other outside cats myself, and there are around half a dozen owned by my neighbors.
At any rate, Tink's not displaced, though. If he could come home, he would. He's an old hand at this outside thing (16 years of habit). Most likely, he's sick and hiding under someone's house, at the shelter, or dead. If he was hungry, he'd be sitting on the front porch, licking his paws and waiting patiently to be let in. If he hears me call, he ALWAYS comes, no matter what he's doing (this includes being territorial with another cat; I've stopped fights just by calling him). That's why I'm really worried, because if he heard me, he'd come. He's either too far to hear me, sick, or dead.
I'm looking, hard, and thanks for your suggestions, Kuhio. I'll check the shelter.
