Both my cats are outdoor cats (in the loosest sense of the term, ie. garden, fence, next door's garden, next door but one if they are feeling adventorous) and for the last couple of months the longest they have been out is 10-15 minutes tops. I can count on one hand the number of times in the last few years that they haven't come in when shouted straight away.
So last night, i realised that i hadnt seen Cleo for a couple of hours
so had a quick scout round her usual haunts (bed, under bed, wardrobe, ironing basket etc etc) nothing. After a while i started to panic, so me and hubs searched everywhere. nothing again. shouted her a few times just in the garden, and nothing again. i was panicking by this point, and searched everywhere yet again. she was nowhere to be seen so deduced she must be outside, and the length of time she must have must have been out meant i was majorly panicking. so i got changed out of my pyjamas, got my trainers on, box of treats, ready to hit the streets.
Just got to the bottom of the garden when hubs shouted me saying she had just strolled downstairs. how on earth did she manage that? i searched EVERYWHERE and its not a big house. has she got an invisibility cloak or what??!!
she wouldnt apologise either, she couldnt see that she did anything wrong
