I hope you get Ray back. My sister had a similar experience. They camped in VA and the cat took off. They had to leave the next day for home but, after dropping DH off, my sister and my Mom hopped back into the car to return to VA, a long trip from MA. When they arrrived at the campground, there was the cat sitting on the table where they had camped with a looks as to say "where the heck did you guy disappear too".
