OH NO!!!
Dont be down on yourself, happens to the best of them (ask GP  )
These little critters are renown escape artists. You'll find him, just check everywhere
and even in places you wouldn't think he could get. check warm spots, check ya shoes
EVERYWHERE!!!!
good luck |

Good luck, I hope you find him soon.
Also sprinkle a little flour round the doorway and skirting boards. If he disturbs it, it'll reveal where he's been.
