I have the cats at work with me today, because its nice and cool here. I usually watch to see that they are not in trouble. Sam was crying for a couple of hours, wanting to go outside, although I explained that he wouldn't like it out there, its too hot.
I was in the office, and realized that I could hear street sounds more clearly than usual. Sure enough, front door is open, no Sam to be found. Although Bailey was sitting staring out the front door. So I went outside. Sam has never ever been out of doors unsupervised, but I do know his usual route.
I checked the front of the building, no luck. I started down the side, and found him, crouched under a big Hosta plant. Boy did he look happy to see me, he ran up to me meowing. The thing is, they are putting a new roof on the house next door, and instead of a nice clear walkway to the nice grass patch at the back, there was a huge pile of old shingles. Sam probably wondered why his world was all turned around!
Now he is happily sleeping indoors. I am so happy that I have been taking him outside. My theory was that I would know where he might go if he did escape, and now I see that was the case.
