bloodyrosemccoy | Where My Cat Is At?

After a lot of soul-searching, we’ve decided to continue with our plan to visit Jackson Hole, Wyoming, this week. Mom doesn’t feel like going to her family would help anyone at this point and would just result in more blowouts, and anyway she feels that the Grand Tetons are one of the most beautiful sights on Earth and thus they would be healing. She was going to pour one out for the uncle there, and we could move on, and this rotten week would be salvaged.

Except now we can’t find the cat.

Nobody has seen Charlie since Saturday, and the little princess is not one to stray far from home anymore as far as we know. We’ve opened all the doors in the house wide in case she’s in a closet or something* and rummaged through our yard and all the neighbors’ yards, and despite my new tracework of pain where the junipers got me, it seems the Princess is always in another castle.

I rather resent that ALL THE BAD THINGS seem to feel like happening in the same week. I am, as you might imagine, a little bummed right now. I think I’ll go lie on the bed for a while hugging Molly or Amber** and staring at the ceiling. Y’all are completely welcome to distract me with random internet shit at any time, but you’ll forgive my failure to be very good company right now.

*Thirteen years and Charlie has never grasped the concept of pushing on an unlatched door to open it.

**You gotta get the cloth-body dolls for a good hugging. The slim-body all-vinyl ones are nice, but you can’t really squeeze ’em very well.

Finding kitties can be really hard. I'm sure you've already asked the google to help with your search, but one thing I've always read recommended is to check bushes very carefully. Often, indoor cats will get spooked as they wander away from home and hole up in a dark place that seems safe.

Good luck. *hugs*

Oh, honey, I'm sorry. Crossing my fingers for her to turn up soon. *hug*

Oh, jeez! *big hugs* I'd be freaked if one of my animals was missing, and with this crappy timing on top of things... my sympathies. :( Here's hoping the princess is either a) hiding in a closet, or b) having a mild Milo & Otis-esque adventure that will lead her straight back home.

And since you asked for distractions...

Roald Dahl was James Bond, for serious.

Purty photos of the new sites added to the world heritage list.

Oddee, Daily Squee, and Zooborns.

aaaaaand...

Aww, thanks. Baby pygmy hippo = excellent moment of zen.

Dad gave me a Roald Dahl book for Christmas--I'll have to dig it up and see if it's the same one. That guy had a CRAZY life.

Oh, no. Hopefully she's hiding out because she's freaked by all the emotions in the house, and will return promptly and safely. {{{hugs}}}

That's one theory, but I have no idea where she'd go or how long she'd stay away if it was something like that.

I just hope that's the case.

Also, you are welcome to more cake and company in coming weeks.

If she doesn't get taken in by someone else, and if nothing happens to her, it still hasn't been so long that she might not still turn up, I'm trying to tell myself. Cats have at least been known to find their way back in situations like these. Of course, I remember having already panicked, back when my cat was still alive, when she ran out of the house for 15 minutes, so I can imagine that two days must feel like an eternity. :/

Aw jeez. I hope you find your kitty.

Man, me too.

I'm sorry, Amelia. I can't really say anything that hasn't already been said, but if this was Eugene, I'd be over there and we'd be marathoning X-Men or something for sure. I hope nothing bad else happens. I hope something really good happens for you right now. Something awesome. If I was christian, I'd pray for you. As I am not, you are in my thoughts. I don't know how much good that will do, but I really wish I was there for you right now for hugs, to look for Charlie, to watch movies, and maybe to draw you a picture or two if you felt like it.

Can you have someone watch the house so you guys can go for a vacation?

If you need a suggestion for some reading, Carl Sagan's got me hooked on how awesome the the universe is. It's truly awesome, and it is truly terrible.

Call me if you need me. I'll be on IM when I can be. Texts are always welcome from you, and if you find yourself in Oregon ever again, I'll be here. I'm not going anywhere.

Thanks. It's nice to know you're thinking of me. Alas that we can't hang out and enjoy distractions or something.

I'll have to go visit Oregon at some point ... when money happens, I guess ...

I try to be realistic about future ideas, and really, I think we will meet again. I'd love to go to Utah next year sometime. We'll see what happens. I just hope things get better well before that.
