I'm alive and well! And so are all my cats! No burgulars or intruders. No coyote catastrophe. No one broke into my house last night when I totally screwed up!
When I came home with Purdy from the groomers yesterday, I apparently was worried about getting him in, was distracted, and didn't close the door to the attached garage. And as usual, I didn't lock the door from the garage to the house. When I went to the garage last night at 9:30 for something, I saw that garage door #1 was open. I pushed the button to close it, and thought Red Cat had run inside. Instead, he apparently went out through garage door #2, which I didn't realize was open, also. Welll, he showed up at 5:00 this morning meowing at my bedroom glass slider to the second floor deck. Turns out that the door for the second car in the garage was also open, which would have allowed any trespasser to just walk into my house while I slept. I hadn't realized that garage door was open, too. I must have hit the wrong button when I originally came into the house with Purdy. The second garage door isn't too visible from the garage-to-house door where the button is, as there is a big cabinet in the way, so I didn't notice it at 9:30 last night.
Anyway, we are all safe. I don't consider that a little thing. That was a BIG thing! And it definitely makes me happy just that we are all alive and well.
