not sure where else to post but please spread the word if you can

hello all. my 8 year old cat, buddy, has gone missing. he’s an outdoor cat only at night and usually comes back after about 3-4 hours. he doesn’t stay out overnight very often, but when he does it’s because he doesn’t come back past midnight. but, on these nights, he ALWAYS comes back the next morning very early, around 4 or 5AM. but not today. there was no sign of him last night and none of him this morning. this is not at all his normal behavior and we’re very concerned he either got himself lost, trapped, or eaten. he is chipped and his name is “mac” on paper, but we call him buddy so if you see him, please call him buddy. he is a very nice boy and if you calmly approach him he’ll most likely let you pick him up. he is a VERY large cat, around 25 pounds, and his hair is not fluffy. his body is longer than most cats and he is kinda fat, so please keep those things in mind if you happen to see another cat that looks similar to him. i’m located on the south hill right in between ben burr park and moran prairie elementary, in the glennaire terrace neighborhood. if you find him, my number is 2069308348. he is my absolute best friend and i need him back
