So here’s the news.
Bob has disappeared.
One day he was lurking under the bird feeder out on the patio, waiting for a succulent chickadee to make one false move, and the next he was missing in action.
Now Bob had become an outside cat due to the nasty habit he had developed of spraying our walls and furniture…… just for fun. He took up the pastime casually one day for reasons that remain a mystery to us.
So he was shown the door and fed on the porch from then on. He always came running when we called and was never too far from home and slept in the garage at night. He was only allowed in the house under supervision and frankly, he didn’t really like it in here any more. He preferred the great outdoors and the lovely possibility of fresh chickadee as mentioned above.
But for the last several days we have not seen hide nor hair of Bob. We are left to speculate. I favor the theory that some kind soul decided he needed a home and took him in. (Think he will remember not to spray THEIR furniture?) Hubby seems to think he may have had a serious run in with one of the local stray cats that took a chunk out of his ear sometime this last fall. We may never know.
Oh, and I wanted you to know that I heard from Billy Teabags…. He left this comment on one of my entries :
Hey there!
I was alerted to your recent entry and I have to say I was very touched by what you wrote (and all the responses!)
Things are going really well over here. Christmas was fun, my little project is going nicely and it hasn't rained in two days. You can't ask for more than that, eh?
About my own diary: I've been planning on taking it up again in the very near future. After the weekend, I think. Monday maybe?
I see there have been some changes to DD since I last updated, some that I don't understand. I'm going to have to look at the official DD diary to make sense of it all.
Have a great weekend, eh. (thanks again for all the well wishes!)
Yipee!
We can hardly wait !
