Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2007I was scared
Boyfie helped me with the chickens this morning and then wandered off into the countryside. No problem, he often does it. He usually comes home in an hour or two and goes for a sleep on the spare bed until it's time for teatime snacks. He had not come home all day and when it was dark I feared the worst. I went up and down the road looking to see if he had been run over. I was about to post "get your butt home purrs" when he fetched up. Maybe due to the sucky monster I had going most of the morning Tweed > Boyfie helped me with the chickens this morning and then wandered off > into the countryside. No problem, he often does it.

I still don't know how Melisande managed to get out, last Friday. True, she's my escape artist, and I was trying to get rid of a persistent magazine salesman at my door. However, the door was on the chain, which I didn't think allowed enough room for a cat to get through, and I am always on the alert for the cats when I have the door open, even that little crack. However she managed it, though..... When she didn't appear when I dished up their dinner, I assumed she'd gotten herself shut into a clothes closet again, but no. I even looked in all the cupboards, but no sign of her. (Of course her buddy, Cendrillon, was no help - no haunting the windows or meowing at something/someone outside.) During the course of the evening, I went outside and called Melly a number of times, with no response. Finally I went to bed (after designing a "lost cat" poster with her picture, to be posted all over the complex the next morning). Saturday morning still no Melisande the first time I went out looking, so I got my posters together and started out the door to start putting them up. Then I heard a plaintive "meow" in a familiar voice. I kept calling, and gradually it got closer. Finally she appeared around the corner of the staircase leading to the apartment upstairs. As is so often the case on such occasions, she wasn't quite sure she WANTED to come in, but finally allowed me to pick her up and take her indoors, at which point she showed her usual interest in the breakfast I was dishing out. I guess I can be glad the unfamiliar territory made her too cautious to wander far, but it was COLD last Friday night (has been ever since I moved here, really) and not only has she been an indoor kitty for over five years, but Southern California was never this cold! (And of course, she had the pet door there, so could come and go at will when she was still an indoor-outdoor cat.) She seems none the worse for the experience, but you can bet I'll hold onto her, next time I'm stuck with a salesperson at the front door! >Boyfie helped me with the chickens this morning and then wandered off into >the countryside.

My sucky monster doesn't come out very often at all. One of these days the dust bunnies are going to take over! -- CATherine >>Boyfie helped me with the chickens this morning and then wandered off into >>the countryside. No problem, he often does it.

That's why it it was out for a long time. That guilty feeling that it's time to hoover the whole house. And the glad feeling when it's done.
