My cat stepped on my eject key and ejected my external hard drive. I can't get it to show up. Help! [View all]

The drive seems to be on and running. I looked in the trash immediately and it wasn't there. I've unplugged and replugged it. I've shut down my computer and held the C key down while it rebooted. I've looked repeatedly in the finder and used disk utilities.

Help! Does anyone have any suggestions to make my computer aware of my external drive again???

I am fortunately backed up in the cloud and will try to call Apple help on Friday if no one has a solution, but if anyone's dealt with this problem successfully, I'd be grateful to know what worked!
