Lost cat lost sleep

Having a black cat that can disappear into the night might be a reason to always check for the cat being inside before tucking in for the night. I think not seeing her is what caused me to wake up five hours later in a panic. We went through all of the house's nooks and crannies and still no Charm. I'm not even sure why John went outside to look for her. She had hunkered down behind some backyard rubble and then hid under a trailer while John and I cooed at her to leave.
