OK so our big cat George is technically an indoor cat. We got him from the Humane Society so they prefer to keep them indoors. However, when you live by fields and the other cat goes outside everyday, it is a losing battle. BUT this cat everytime he goes out, George ends up injuring himself. I don't like to let him go outside. As Spring has come I have been letting him out as I take the boys to the school bus and then bring him in when I return. It has been cold enough that he wants out for a bit. Well the other morning I let him out earlier in the dark because it was warm out and the other cat wanted out so bad so I sent both.
George did not come home.
I had to go to a seminar and I didn't want to miss it, and I called everywhere. Looked through the fields, I mean he had only been gone an hour how far can he go? Far away I guess, and I could not locate him. I was bumming and figure he would turn up while I was gone. No show. Then in the evening we looked and looked and looked. No George. I went to the neighbors and no has seen him. I went to the cranky neighbors (long story) You begin to wonder if someone has taken him in. He is very friendly. I even called the sanitary dept. to make sure they have not picked up white road kill.
Two nights in a row without the cat coming home. Two nights of staying up and checking every two or three hours to see if he is at the back door to come in.
Finally this morning, he came home. He was gone almost 48 hrs. And yes he wanted out again today and I am like "no way". I need sleep.
