So glad Reilly came back. There is lots of hope for Bella, I think. It would be exactly the time for her to be back in heat, so she is probably out and about with potential "husbands." Our cat Mustard, the family cat when I was growing up, disappeared three different times and returned safely. The third time, he was gone for over two weeks, and we were sure we would never see him again - we called and searched everywhere - but one day he just showed up at the front door. My cat Sadie - the first cat I ever had after leaving home - disappeared in Philadelphia for a week, too, and I was positive she had met a bad end - but one morning, she tore a hole through the screen coming back home! I have never been more ecstatic than I was that morning to see her - she was the worse for wear, with some injuries, but nothing terribly serious, and she ended up fine. Good luck with Bella - I hope she comes home just fine.
