Definitely search for your cat to make sure he just isn't hiding outside. If they get scared, they may hide and not come in, even though they normally come and go. You can try putting his food outside your house and some of his litter (gross, I know, but it can help lead him home). This is also why it is really important to keep your cats inside. Even cats that seem adamant about going outside can be transitioned into having a fulfilling life as indoor-only cats and it will keep them safe from a number of dangers. Here is some info on why that is the way to go and how to make that transition:
