Well, that was concerning! Mimi went outside on Friday morning and then didn’t come home for hours and hours and hours. To say everyone was worried about her would be a massive understatement. Aunty M was out walking the streets looking for her and calling out her name. The Mummies offered to go over and help but Mimi (despite all her wonderful traits) is a bit nervous and probably wouldn’t have come to them. But the good news is that Mimi finally did come home. Aunty M doesn’t know if she was locked in somewhere or had caught her lead on something – but I think the general consensus is that she may have been catnapped because both her collar and her lead (not attached to each other) were not on her when she came home at 11.30 pm. She was very frightened and very hungry – and very much in need of her toilet (she’s a litter-tray kind of girl like me).
We’ll never know what happened for sure but Aunty M said that Mimi can get a huge yowl on when she is not happy and if someone had taken her, she would have started that – and they would have been hard-pressed to control it or contain her once she started her shredding claws going. It is so good she found her way home, wherever she was – and I believe that (for the next while at least) she will not be given as much freedom to roam alone outside. If she wants to spend unsupervised time outside, Aunty M and Mouse might have to get her a cat enclosure … I wonder what Uncle Wayne is doing – maybe he could build them an Outback like mine.
The Mummies are away for the weekend which means Aunty M is going to come and see me. I can show her my new box – there is a new big white one that I haven’t been able to get into yet which only arrived on Friday – it’s all sealed and sitting on the floor near my other boxes (did someone say Disneyland?) and I can’t help wondering if there is something for me inside there. Or whether it’s going to be something for the Mummies – again. They’re always getting ‘stuff’ – but at least I do get the boxes! Maybe I should send one of them home with Aunty M to give to Mimi so she knows I’m happy she’s home safe and sound.
