Smitty's been missing for over 1/2 an hour. 😢
I got home later than I meant to & when I got in my patio I could hear him whining through the window. I forgot to latch the gate closed & when I opened the door, the brat scurried out. I didn't expect either of them to because I knew they'd be hungry & they usually wait inside...yowling at me.
The few times that he has wandered off, he always comes back within 10-15 minutes.
I tried wandering around looking but my body keeps crapping out on me.
His collar has a bell and he talks a lot which makes it easy for me to hear him but it's completely quiet out.
I finally got him microchipped last month...I just want him to come home. damnit. 😟
Fuck. He's been gone over an hour now.
I don't know what to do. I've gone out 4x's now but my hips and knees are hurting so much tonight and they're causing me to be unbalanced. Plus it's dark out.
Fuck. I'm scared.
@see_the_sus They're often nearer by than they seem. Nibs pulled a couple of disappearing acts after Sketch and Crinkle moved in. She showed up a while later (wondering why I was so agitated). Another cat of ours, Taylor, disappeared for a month. I'd pretty much given up when one morning he walked into my bedroom wondering when breakfast was served.😏 Cats - they pull this crap.🙄
He's a brat, to say the least. Adorable bratty scoundrel who steals mine and everyones heart. I'm typically on top of latching the gate as I enter but I was carrying a bag and tired, knew the fur monsters would be annoyed that I hadn't fed 'em dinner and worried about losing my balance. and on and on
Smits will be five in January but he still thinks he's a kitten.
@see_the_sus Nibs is six. Sketch and Crinkle are just large enough to be adults now, but the kittens they were this summer are still pretty much there.😏
@see_the_sus Almost all of mine have been brats - at least if their young when we get them. Crinkle is a little maniac - but an awfully loyal little sidekick as well.😏
