I haven't seen Milo for 24 hours, he was playing with Baggy in the
garden, then he vanished. Instead of celebrating his first birthday I'm
sitting here worried sick.

Excellent advice from Melissa. I concur. I would just add that the two
times
not to miss calling around for him are dawn and dusk, that's when most
cats
are awake and alert.

We find too that if our cats are upset they will go to ground during
daylight hours and not even try to come home during the day. They show up
just after sunset if not too far off. Much later if they are really shaken.

Also, do not walk away from your home calling your cat. You want it closer,
not further away. Go as far as you plan to walk and call as you head home.

A bright spotlight also helps to find a cat that is hiding in the weeds.
Those eyes will give them away every time.

Purrs on that way.

Have any of your neighbors gone on holiday wthin the past day or so? He
might have gotten himself shut in a garage or something. One place I
lived (where there were several rental cottages), my Mischief
disappeared. When I went looking around the property, calling him, I
saw him looking out of the window of the vacant cottage across the court
from mine. Evidently the caretaker had been showing it to prospective
tenants, and no one noticed a curious cat "viewing" it, too!

We'll be purring up a storm!

Don't forget to check some of the web pages on lost cats. I used to have
a nice list of them, but the only one I can find right now is
http://felidaeworld.com/lost.html. It's VERY important to remember that
an indoor cat that gets out, or a family cat that somehow gets lost,
will act very differently than they normally do. Their "survival mode"
behavior can contribute greatly to the difficulty of getting them back.

Don't give up hope!
