All I saw was a dash of fur and she disappeared. Well, I looked high and low throughout the house for her after the guy left and I couldn't find her. So I automatically assumed she had escaped the house through the door to the garage which was open due to his hose.
I was frantic since she had never left the house and I thought she had run away. So I took her can of treats and spent a half hour walking around the area looking for her but never found her.
Once I returned home, I went out on the back deck and continued to rattle the treat can and call her name. Finally, I gave up and turned to go back into the house and there she was, standing in doorway looking at me.....LOL!
She obviously had found a safe hiding space somewhere in the house where I couldn't find her.
Is she OK with her name? - I worry about Brutus around here.
We live on a river where there are lots of coyotes ranging
through, a few bobcats, rattlesnakes, copperheads. She
has her own little pet door where she comes in & out at will. One night she brought in a little winged lizard and
put it on the bed. It got loose under the covers; but we
finally caught it and my husband evicted it out the window.
I think Brutus has eaten all the regular lizards; but the
winged lizard had her confused as to how to eat it. She
definitely augments her diet with wild critters. She once
ate a whole little squirrel when she was just a kitten; left
only the tail and left it on the floor of her little
summer room. I worry about her; but I’d just as well not as
she is who she is!
