Correction: he flipped on his back for a tummy rub, fell off the desk, came back, got on my shoulder, and now is calm enough to wash himself. Historically, he's been the most shy of my three, but was prone to come out of hiding to explain that he was about to explode without a tummy scratch. It's been suggested he was hiding in the basement, possibly scared by the workmen, but I find it hard to believe that there would be this amount of emotion if he hadn't heen lost outside. OTOH, I just got another call of a sighting of a loose gray cat, which may have explained some of the reports. It will probably always be a mystery. |

Like you said, you'll probably never know for sure if he was in the Out, or just hiding in the basement from the workmen. I think I'd prefer the basement, though, else he may go walkabout again, maybe even showing the other furry ones the exit/entrance. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |

They were only there for about 4 hours, but, until I spotted it and said something, they had been leaving the outside door open. Who knows? |
