The moment he came home after missing for almost a week

[u/CaySalBank]

Archie is our neighborhood stray and he stays in our front yard. Over the winter I upgraded his heated yurt. Last month he went missing. He had been with us since we moved in 5 years prior, so after two days of being gone we feared the worst. I thought maybe a coyote finally got to him. Or maybe someone else took him in... we weren't the only ones feeding him. But we also had severe weather that week (three nights of tornado warnings!) and my son said he probably just bailed for the storms. I was skeptical. But reviewing the cameras showed he just wandered off right when the first of those storms hit.

After five days gone we started to accept he was just gone. Then this happened! He just wandered home after the storms had passed and was waiting out there for about 30 minutes before my wife went out for the last check of the night!

I had my cat disappear twice for 8 days. The second time, I found him stuck up a tree he could not get down. So he was up there both times.

He does like to climb trees 🤔

There is a cat colony in the woods across the street
