More than likely, he's was just a one-off character, built just for a story arc, with a slim chance of reappearing. Though I do think Rick will have plans for him in the future.

He went home and is presumably working on another Pridelands novel.

na, we will see him again, I'm sure of it.
Rick is not one to introduce a character and use it as a one-off

He's only been gone for a month now, silly.
King was absent since August I believe until January, and Tarot's been gone longer than that*- and these are established characters. With only 3 strips a week and a cast as big as Housepets has, certain characters will fall under the radar for a while because there's just no room for them.

Res will come back, but with the large cast that Housepets has, it'll be a while. Like what CaptainPea said, it was October since we last saw Tarot, and she's Peanut's girlfriend.

This. He will appear again, just not soon. Since most likely, he's too busy writing the next one.

Shortly after he met Grape he was abducted by an ancient ninja order that feared the Pridelands novel would expose their organization because they're partially based on memories of Res' former incarnation as Matsubayoshi Funana, ninja-slayer. The local police forms a secret special force of K9 troopers to rescue him from a base on the far side of the moon where he's held by the ninjas and a group of Goa'uld in a big crossover story arc. Rick wanted to keep that confidential to prevent spoilers and oh wait

Well, Mr. Griffin can't focus on every character all the time. But I'm sure he will add Res to some story if he will get an idea for some arc/one-off strip :)

Res didn't die, he ascended and joined the Ancients, on a quest to ask for their help in keeping the Reapers from destroying the last of the Spartan II's with an army of Necromorphs.

<.<

Then again, he got way too many lines to just be a one-off character. I really want to see him again too. Also I kinda ship Gapres.

Not particularly.

I don't foresee another appearance by Res for quite some time.

Are you upset by the contents of this message?

Res had to leave the board to go get some more soda for the great Kitsune and spirit dragon,
