Cat got outside yupterday, ended up coming back in the heat

I have two indoor cats! We do not let them outside because of the feral cats in our village.

We would not want to risk them getting into fights or getting fleas… Even though our cats are strictly indoors, they often try to get outside when my friend and I open the front or back doors.

I always question why my cats would try to escape because they have a good life. They have free range of my home, food, water, air conditioning, heat, toys, & animal beds, however yesterday, I was going out to my backyard to put covers on the chairs to prepare for the storm. While I was opening the sliding door, my animal Gilbert ran out under my feet & he was so fast I could not catch him, he then proceeded to sprint & jump onto the roof of my shed & over the fence into the woods. I right away started panicking because it was a cold, rainy day & I knew the storm was coming. My husband & I tried to call Gilbert for hours. We put food outside, told the neighbors, & printed lost animal fliers. It got dark early last night & my friend and I were searching for Gilbert in the woods. It was rainy, windy, & chilly. All I wanted to do was find Gilbert & go back into my heated home. Unluckyly my friend and I did not find him after searching the woods for hours. I took a tepid shower & warmed up in my household with central heating. A few hours later, Gilbert showed up in my neighbors yard. He was freezing, wet, & dirty. We got him cleaned up & he was cheerful to be back household in the heat.
