Mourning The worst day
My cat was let out of the house two days ago and we haven’t seen her since. We live in the mountains, two blocks away from a big meadow that is home to dozens of coyotes. Whenever I see a lost cat poster around here I hang my head down low, and feel sorry for that family and their kitty they will likely never see again. Now it’s me hanging up the almost hopeless lost cat flyers. I’m still hoping for a miracle.
Every time I fall asleep I dream about finding her, and when I wake up my heart breaks all over again.
Her sister is sad and confused, and very much not okay. This is horrible.
We cancelled our holiday vacation that was supposed to start tomorrow. We are too heartbroken, and we couldn’t possibly leave our other cat on her own.

Good luck OP. Take some walks and just listen. She could be up a tree meowing. Better sooner than later for your walk though. Just call her name, but give a good three minutes to listen. If you have a dog that doesn’t bark, take the dog with you - they can smell and hear well unless they are very old.
Cats can travel a long ways, like a couple of miles. If you have any houses within that radius you can ask your neighbors.
