Boyfriend usually appears within a few minutes of me getting home from work,
no matter where he is he hears me arrive.
Then he gets his supper and he is usually hungry for it.

It is now nearly 8 pm and he isn't here.  I haven't seen him since this
morning.  Where can he be?  It's a b*st*rd cat trick I suppose, but I am
starting to get worried.
I am trying to remain calm.  Maybe he is still out looking at rats and
forgot to come home.
I shan't go out searching the roads for his body until tomorrow :-(
Could I have some purrs that he gets his butt home a.s.a.p.?
I shall be like my mother once was when I went missing myself.  "I thought
you were murdered, now I'm going to kill you!"  she didn't but I know how
she felt.

Cancel the APB.  He's just strolled in meowing for his supper and is
headbutting my arm to make sure he gets it.  I was *so* pleased to see him.
Yep, it was a b*str*d cat trick.
He has eaten and is now off back down the garden to do important things in
the dark.
Phew.

More magic purrs.  They worked the same way when Nanki-Poo was missing.  He
showed up just a few minutes after I had posted asking for purrs and one
person had responded.

Never underestimate the power of the purr.

This group is magic. It even works when you don't ask for purrs. Last
winter, I wrote to ask for advice on how I could stop the cats from
using their enclosure as a litterbox. After I sent that message, they
just stopped. I didn't have to do anything.

Have they chewed on the internet/phone cables?
Maybe they connected and intercepted your messages.

You poor thing, you don't know what you're missing. :)

That is a joke. I actually don't know what I'm missing either, because
I've never watched this show. It sounds a little too mean for my taste.
I did used to like the original Candid Camera show when I was a kid,
though.

I am so cross that he worried me so much that he is getting no pettings
until tomorrow.  Not really ;-) Mainly both my cats stick to a specific
routine, thus the concern that Boyfie wasn't here when I got home from work,
he is usually meatloafing on the sofa or fast asleep on the spare bed.  He
roams around being a fierce cat only in the early morning. Then he needs to
get his 16 hours sleep.
I don't know where he was but I am glad he is back here in his home now.

worrying. :)

I know that feeling of missing a master and it's one of the worst things.
I'm happy he's home, too.

What a relief!! (Isn't it funny that when cats play these nasty little
tricks on us, we respond by saying "what a relief, *only* a b*st*rd cat
trick"?)

I would be so sad if the beautiful and gallant Boyfriend went AWOL. Thank
god he is home!

Yes, it's funny but it stopped me picking him up, shaking him and saying
"where the hell have you been, I've been worried out of my mind."

> I would be so sad if the beautiful and gallant Boyfriend went AWOL. Thank

I would be devastated myself.  He has crept his way into my heart and I
really love him.  Not because he is lovely to look at, which he is, but
because of his wonderful temperament.  He doesn't seem capable of having a
bad thought.
Even when he is afraid, like at TED's, he never shows his claws or teeth, he
just submits with a sigh.  I have never heard him growl in his whole life
except when KFC has boxed his ears more than four times in a couple of
minutes which surely has to be excusable.

Oh, most certainly.  Provocation does not count.  I stopped
reprimanding Luthien from beating Muezza Glorio up when I
realized that:
1)  Muezza Glorio is the one stalking her, not the other way
    around, and so she was sorely provoked.
2)  Luthien sounds quite vicious when she takes it out on
    him, but I have realized that she keeps her claws in
    and does not bite him, she just slaps him upside the
    head in fast-forward, and when he gets away from her,
    he immediately turns around and does it again!!

What a bad little boy!! An adorable little boy (I forgot to mention that
when I looked at the photos), but a brat nonetheless!

It's good progress to go in 15 minutes from "searching the roads for
his body" to having him meowing and headbutting you. :)

I know!  I am so lucky.  He claims he forgot the time ;-)   Oh, yeah, it is
light when I get home from work and it was pitch black when he came in four
hours late!
He is a creature of habit usually, that's why I was getting worried.  You
can almost set your clock by him.  It would be a real fluke if he ever got
run over - there are only a few houses past mine until the road ends in a
field, so there is hardly any traffic and he only occasionally goes out "the
front" anyway.  He has several acres to act the big boy out the back (mine
plus neighbours) and 2 miles of fields at the bottom of the garden.   All
full of mices and birdies and fings wot you never see on der road wot you
can catch - or pretend to.
It was just that I have too much imagination and often think the worst.

Boyfie is meatloafing with half-closed eyes in the chair only about 12
inches away at this very moment.  He was here when I got home tonight as
usual.

I'm so glad that Boyfriend had come home by the time I read this.  He gets
points for a perfect B*st*rd cat trick.
