Default A masterful BCT

Saturday Nancy and I went out running some errands. When we got home I
thought it strange that Benni wasn't hanging out at any of her usual
places. When I get started feeding everyone their dinners, no Benni.
After both of us searched the house thoroughly, we figured she must have
slipped past one of us and gotten outside.

We registered her as missing with the local missing pet resources.
Yesterday we visited both of the big local shelters and reported her
missing. I walked the neighborhood after dark with a flashlight both
Saturdaya and Sunday nights. Nancy and I scoured every room in the house
several time, looking in closets, cupboards, etc. No sign of Benni.

This morning I went in to my home office and looked in the closet for
some clothes. WHen I closed the closet door Benni was rubbing against my
ankles. 36 hours she was missing!

Saturday night I slept on the couch, figuring that if she was lost
outside and found her way home she might meow by the front door. While I
was trying to get to sleep I heard the pitter-patter of little feet
followed by "hiss! hiss!". I immediately got up and searched everywhere
on that end of the house, as that is how Benni usually interacts with
Francesca. No sign of the little stinker.

I believe I need to put a radio tracker on her collar.
