My Poss het pied male disappeared in the Ohio winter for almost four months on the previous owner. He got out because their kitten pokes holes in his lid and he squeezed out. They woke up and he was gone, they checked their basement and searched their whole house. Nothing. Then one morning he showed up on their steps like nothing happened. And he kept his weight (lost 100 grams) It was incredible. He also was out for two weeks in the West Virginia summer, he popped up in his previous owners shoe. So just keep calm, he'll show up soon. Hoping for the best for your little Alice.
