Twix, Tucker, and Peep went to get spayed and neutered today. The appointment was early this morning between seven thirty and eight - that was the designated arrive time. Anyway, last nigh I went through and collected all of the cats to shut them in the garage for the night (they're outside cats no matter how much I dislike it).

However, in the morning it turned out I hadn't shut the door all the way. Peep was sleeping in front of the door being the good doormat he always is
, but Twix and Tucker...gone. Out hunting, I supposed. So, what could I do? I slipped on my coat and started calling for them.

Fifteen minutes later, I had Tucker and Peep in the garage where Tucker was carefully sniffing out the carrying kennel, and I was outside still calling for Twix. She never goes off of our property, I knew that, but we have ten acres. That's a lot of land to try find a cat over, especially when its thirty degrees out and you have to leave in ten minutes for an appointment at the vets! It turned out I was in luck, because halfway down our looong driveway there was a rustling and out of the bushes pranced a very happy, very proud of herself for escaping the garage Twix. By this time it was really when the crate should have been loaded in the car, but I was just getting the cats ready to go. Grabbing Twix, I made a break for the garage, packed up the cats, and headed out to the van where my mom was not-so-patiently waiting. Needless to say we were nearly late, and it's the last time we schedule an early morning appointment!

I have no doubt they did!! Peep was complaing the whole ride there. "Mauuuu...meeauuu!" And yes, they are staying overnight - Twix, at least. Since the vet is a ways away, though, I think we're getting everyone home the next morning even though Peep and Tucker could come home this evening. That way they'll get inside time too before my dad comes home.

It was exhausting!
I don't know what I would have done if my cats didn't know how to come when they are called. Thank you for the vibes, too - I'm sure everything will go fine, they're in capable hands.
