My cat is gone, and I can't find him!!!!!?

[MY-Heart-Aches]

My cat brianna pulled a stunt like this 2 years ago. One day my cat slipped out in the middle of the night and i panicked i was heartbroken crying for days..she was missing for about 7 days and i just knew that she was dead somewhere i was in mourning, i was soo sad. I made posters with her picture and hung them around everywhere. I called all the local shelters and went out everyday after work looking for her for hours...until miss thang decided she wanted to show up. I heard something meow outside and me and my bff ran downstairs and opened the door and she just looked up at me and meowed and slowly walked up the stairs i was soooooooooooooo happy i grabbed her and hugged her and opened up 2 cans of cat food and watched her devour the food and i felt so good i grabbed her and kissed her. My heart was so releaved that day. So take heart he may just be out there experiencing life. If he wants to come back he will. I didnt think brianna would of came back but she did.
