Missing kitty purrs

Sorry I missed the call for purrs. So glad she's home and OK. I
accidentally shut Boyfie out overnight too last week but he was able to
sleep in the conservatory. I got what for in the morning!

He's gotten quite used to the good life, hasn't he?

Thanks for the purrs, all. She's home now.

The little sneak managed to sneak out into the back yard last night
before I closed up for the night. I didn't do my usual kitty count
before going to bed, as I was feeling spectacularly crappy. When I got
up this morning I couldn't find little Harri baby anywhere.

We searched the house from top to bottom, searched the garage, searched
the house again, drove around the block, etc. When we got back home it
occurred to me to look under the back porch - there she was! It looks
like she snuck out when I brought Ranger in, then got locked out of the
house and had to spend the night under the porch. The poor girl must
have been freezing! The temps last night dipped down into the low teens.

She didn't want to come out from under the porch when we first found
her. Finally we left a dish of food just outside of her entrance hole
and went inside, and a few minutes later she came out on her own.

She fine and healthy - the night spent in the cold didn't seem to hurt
her. She's chowed down and helped herself to water, and she's come up
into my lap to snuggle.

I'm going to have to do my kitty count every night, without fail.

Whew! Thank Bast!

I've posted before about the scares we've had when cats have gone
missing. In every case, they've turned up in the house or in the yard.

Now it's Harri Roadcat that's pulled a vanishing act. She usually greets
me as soon as I come downstairs in the morning, but I haven't been able
to find her yet. I've searched the entire house, the back yard, the
garage - I just can't find her anywhere.

So I would appreciate some "get your furry butt home now" purrs for
little miss Roadcat.

Purrs of the requested variety on the way right now.

You look tired Dan.

I was exhausted. From the time I noticed that Harri wasn't greeting me
to the time I had her back in the house was only an hour or so, but the
emotional strain of being so scared left me exhausted.

I scrolled down for an update before I sent purrs. Glad you found her!

Anyhow, Nancy got a photo of Harri in mid-snuggle. It's online at

She looks very happy to be back in Paw-Paw's arms.

I thought that might be the reason.

Glad to hear she's inside getting warm cuddles.

What a relief! I hope you are feeling better, Dan.
