I think my baby is gone.

I have this "dead" feeling inside me... my little Sherbert is missing this morning. She usually greets me at the door when the sun rises, and spends the morning sleeping at my feet. But she's no where to be seen. I have walked to the mailbox at the end of the driveway, and usually ALL my kitties will show up when I do that, but only my other two followed me... Sherbie is "MIA." She's been missing since... well... last night about 9pm was the last time I saw her. She usually spends the night outside and comes in in the morning for food and loving. I called and called for her to no avail. I fear she might have been attacked by another animal or struck by a car (which happened to my Angel 2 years ago). How long should I wait for her? I'll never find her if she's sick or injured somewhere. It's just too rural an area. I couldn't make her an "indoor" cat, she came to me as a stray. I say no indications of illness yesterday. I am so sad. I know she was a little "snot-nose" brat, but I love her and miss her. I want her back but I feel so useless to sit here and wait. I fear I'll never see her again.
