Frodis gave me the scare of the month tonight. I dropped Nancy Miller off at physical therapy tonight and came home to check the mail, feed the kitties, etc. Normally when I come in Fro is either at the door or on the couch or the chair or sprawled on the carpet, somewhere in the main room where we can see him. Tonight I come in and theres no one, not even Mashie. I turn on the lights and head in . . . Mashies in the bathroom. Okay, one accounted for. I check the kitchen, main room, go into the bedrooms, nothing. Now, Fro is a pretty heavy sleeper when it comes to cats, so its not unusual for him to keep snoozing even when youre poking him. But Im not seeing him. So I start in the back--look in the huge closet, scan all over the back bedroom, look under the bed and dresser, nothing. Hes not in her room, hes not in my room, hes not in the bathroom, hes not in the closets, and Im running out of places to look. Where could he have have gone? None of the windows are open and theres no sign that anyone came into the unit, and it wouldnt make any sense whatsoever for someone to come in and take one cat and leave everything else valuable behind. Then my mind goes to a dark place, and I get worried. THEN I turn my flashlight into the kitchen and Fro is coming OUT of one of the kitchen cabinets on the floor level (that I even looked in!!) with a very sleepy expression. At this point I dont know whether to laugh in relief or smack him for scaring me, so I pick him up and hug him. :)
