Em’s Escapade…
Yesterday early morning I went out to put out the rubbish. Later in the morning, I went out to the shops. After lunch, I made some muffins and took some over to my daughter’s. I generally don’t see a lot of my four cats during the day as that’s when they sleep so they can run around at night. Late afternoon I kept hearing strange noises but dismissed them as the wind which was quite strong. Zeus was behaving oddly, running back and forth between the front and back doors but he does that if there are strays about or to watch the birds. Then I heard a loud noise down the other end of the house so thought perhaps I should investigate. I went into my bedroom and pulled back the curtain to see a black and white cat jump down from the table outside my window. My first thought was that it was Little Tuxie back, but then it turned around. EM WAS OUTSIDE. I thought the cat run was inescapable. I quickly went out and as I hurried down the veranda, she ran towards me and practically jumped into my arms and cuddled She never likes being picked up normally. After putting her back inside I went out and checked the cat run but couldn’t see any way she could have escaped. I can only surmise that she snuck out when I put the rubbish out. The other times I went out the front I would have seen her. This meant she had been out all day and had been trying to get back in. Fortunately, she didn’t run away. Since then she has stuck by my side and stayed where she can see me. Naughty little minx, I hope she has learnt her lesson.
Update:
Well, I now know I didn’t let her out. Walked into the dining area this afternoon and found her halfway up the screen door ON THE OUTSIDE! I rang for reinforcements and Suzie came over and checked everything out. The little b*tch had burrowed out under the side of the cat run. Suzie filled up the holes with bricks and sand so we hope she can’t get out again. Bloody little Houdini!!!!
The other thing was when I brought her back inside I said to her “where the f*k are the other cats” and a voice from my POCKET said, “I can’t answer that question. Your mobile data is not on”.I have never used the voice function on my phone so that was a little scary lol.
Blessed Be!
