Little Boy was out all night
"Mark Edwards" wrote in message ... Yesterday evening, Little Boy ran out the door. He does this sometimes, and usually goes around the building and lounges on the stairs to the second floor. Eventually. The few times he has done this, I always find him on the steps by bedtime, and bring him in. This time, I didn't see him on the steps, or in the nearby bushes. By 11pm, I was getting worried. Finally, about midnight, we went to bed, having not found Little Boy. I am currently unemployed, so managed to sleep in until about 9am today. I hurried up and dressed, checked outside and... no Little Boy. Rats! Okay, I opened the blinds, fixed breakfast, sat down at the computer for my daily job hunt and read the news. After a few minutes, I hear Senyah muttering something. I get up and open the living room door. There is Little Boy, looking sheepish, his front paws on the door's threshold. I pick him up and cuddle him. I tell him that we missed him, and worried about him, and that we had called the police and the FBI, that the fire department was scanning all the local trees, and that a helicopter unit was searching as well. "All well and good," says he, "where's my food bowl?" Little Feet and Dulce Mae have been trying to get a good sniff of him to find out where he's been and what he's been up to. He has been very affectionate since breakfast, and is purring non-stop in my lap as I type this. It is good to have the little brat back inside. So glad he's back. And hope he's had enough adventure to last a while. I've learned to live with not knowing where the cats are during the day. And there are some nights I really can't blame them. If I were a cat I'd stay out too. But when they don't make morning roll call I get this horrible sick feeling. Not that it keeps them from doing it every so often. Jo |
