….seems to have gone on a walk-about of his own.
\nWe have this deal. He gets to go out as early in the morning as he can con someone into opening the door. He comes back for breakfast anytime from ten minutes later to 9:00 a.m. From then on, he’s in and out like a yo-yo. And close to 2:00 in the afternoon, he’s in for the day.
\nThis hasn’t seemed to be a hardship on him, particularly as he’s aged. He’s gotten to like the comfort of a snooze in the sunlight, where he didn’t have to worry about enemies or predators sneaking up on him. He’s taken over my chair, and wants to take over the table where my computer sits.
\nSo, today, we had errands to run. The cat (Ed, is his name, after Edwin Scissorhands), went out early, and has not been seen since. We’ve called him every 10 or 15 minutes for the past few hours….and NO CAT!
\nNow, every other time this has happened, it’s been a glorious day (like today). He never disappears in the middle of a snow storm, or when we’re getting 17 inches of rain. I shouldn’t be worried, but I am. I can’t help wondering if he’s been hurt or run over.
\nHe’s probably adopted a second family…..one who has a better brand of cat food. Or maybe there’s a pretty little lady cat down the path…….
\nDarn cat! I wonder where he is!
\nUPDATE: He’s home. He was gone long enough to scare me, but when I walked out at 9:00 to call him, he came running to me as though nothing had happened. Darn cat!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
