After a mysterious 9-day absence, our cat has returned. He just showed up this morning and meowed to be let in. We don't know where he went or why, but at least he's back! Scratch on his ear, some dust in his coat, and he's lost his paunch (looks like a fit cat now!), but otherwise unchanged. If anything, he was more loving with us than usual and more mellow with our newer cat Clue. (She, on the other hand, is very displeased he came back and keeps growling and trying to intimidate him. I guess she took ownership of the whole house while he was gone!)
Ah well. Just so happy my family is complete again!
Noodles came back!

Having your cats microchipped dramatically increases the chances you will get them back if they are lost. Good Samaritans often take found pets to their vet or the local shelter and get them scanned in an effort to find the owner. Urban shelters tend to be high kill and hold cats only for brief periods before they euthanize them. Shelters now scan for chips, and you would get that life-saving phone call if your cat is microchipped.

Clue probably is reacting to a different smell of Noodles - i.e. not recognizing him/her.
