Poor Carys had a very traumatic night.

She didn't appear when I brought out the treats, last night, which was strange. I went out to the screened in porch and shook the treat bag. No Carys. I checked all around the house but she is pretty good at using that magical cat portal to the invisible.

An hour or so went by, no Carys. I checked around, again, under furniture. Nada. I was constantly looking out the porch door to see if the kittens were there instead of with their moms. I'm talking at least a dozen times. Eventually I figured she found a new hiding place, and I didn't see the kittens so I closed things up at about 10 and waited for the indictment to be unsealed. I finally switched off at midnight.

Then I woke up at 3:30. Still no Carys so I AGAIN went out on the porch and there she was, in a total state of panic, yowling and climbing up the screens. My heart broke!! She finally raced inside and I breathed a sigh of relief. Honestly, I looked and looked and LOOKED for her.

To try and make amends, I gave her a very special breakfast and she seems fully recovered. She even let me pick her up and give her some cuddles, which she rarely does. And now I know there's another magical cat portal on the screened in porch.

If the treat bag shaking doesn’t draw them out, it must be another magical cat portal.

We had hella thunderstorms over night here. CBD oil not withstanding, Molly was a panting, quivering miserable beastie. Husband made her a pillow fort which worked until the next CrashBoom ⚡️ She spent the rest of the night in the gap between my side of the bed and the wall, under a window that was open 3-4 inches top and bottom. Rain rarely blows through that window. She and spouse are napping now.

Mornings like this, I wish I liked coffee ☕️
Mornings like this, I’m thankful for Darjeeling. And Constant Comment.
There’s definitely an afternoon nap in my future today.
