Hey, don't let politics overrun you.
Make your arguments subtly, and constant.. They'll turn around eventually.
I'm sorry you had to go through this, my best wishes all is well.

I'm not being facetious here, and I know what time it is, but did you try calling the cat? Mine are trained to come running at the sound of the word "treat" (guess why). If calling doesn't work (or is verboten due to 4:30 AM), try tapping a spoon on the kitty's food dish. Nothing? Leave a dish of food on the porch for kitty. Something like tuna or other kitty yummy. Have the motion sensor light plugged in (if you have one) so it lets you know kitty's home.
Or: find a flashlight and shine it under your parked car, porch, crawlspace, etc. (and hope the neighborhood watch isn't TOO gung-ho). Kitty's eyes will reflect if she looks into the beam.
Last of all, are you SURE 100% that kitty is outside, lost? Did you look in ALL the places? I lost a cat for 4 hours until I found that he had sneaked into the pantry while it was open, climbed onto a shelf and fallen asleep. Try turning off lights and shining the flashlight again. Under beds - and up in the boxspring! - is a common location. So is up on a closet shelf. Under stairs or in basement windows or nooks is a favorite.
Sure hope you find kitty. Let me know!

Don't feel too bad.
I spent ten straight hours FReepin', then realized I'd left the baby in the car. Outside in the driveway. Temperature about 98 degrees.
Not to worry, though. I went out and got her as soon as I had finished uploading the latest email jokes from my brother.
I just KNOW no one else had ever heard them before.

You should have gotten a pet moose, easier to find if lost.
I hope you find the little stinker.
Shake the kitty food box outside. That might lure her to come back. Or just put out a brick of CHEESE!
Maybe you should stick with a pet goldfish.

You could also just try to replace kitty with one that looks just like it, like Greg Focher did with Jinksie in Meet The Parents, even if it means using touch up paint or spray paint.

If I was were your wife..you'd be better off just hanging yourself NOW off the tree in the back. :)
Seriously....I am sure the cat will come back if you keep calling it.....well....I mean if your WIFE calls it. I am sure the cat doesn't want to hear your voice and will know that you won't have any food for it anyway. >^..^<
SHE has to keep CALLING it.

Even thought the cat is back, roses or a bouquet of flowers would look good on the table when your wife comes home.

Sorry the cat came back. Try taking it further away next time and get a dog. Dogs are good company, bite burglars, fetch the cows and both point and retrieve birds. Cats are just weird!
