Our Big Adventure

Quill here. You won't believe what happened! This morning started like any other:
  • Litter box change - check
  • Kibble set out - check
  • Mom's walk with her sister - check
Greyson and I took up our posts waiting by the front door for Mom's return. Usually Greyson waits right next to the door and howls till she gets back. He tries to sprint out when Mom opens the door. I watch politely on the sofa - not a squeak from me.

Today a few minutes into Mom's walk Greyson jumped on the door - and it popped open!! We both stared in shock. Greyson yelled out "Thank Cod" and sprinted outside. Of course I had to keep my eyes on the baby - I was left in charge.

At first Greyson just played on the porch and then he started towards our back gate. I told him to come back inside (it was really cold!) but he insisted. About 10 minutes later I heard him yowling at the back door. I went inside the house and tried to squeak out instructions to come back to the front.

By now Greyson was FREAKED OUT and couldn't hear me. So I went back out to the porch and that is when Mom arrived home. She had seen a poster for a lost cat on her walk and thought I was the lost cat for a minute. When she saw it was me, and that the door was open she FREAKED OUT too.

She grabbed me and felt me up to be sure I was okay. I tried to tell her Greyson was on the back porch but she was too busy yelling "OH MY GOD, WHERE'S GREYSON!!" to hear me. She closed me in the house and went to the back gate yelling for Greyson. I guess she was plenty loud to hear cause Greyson ran all the way to the front door on his belly with his fur floofed in panic (something he later denied but we saw it).

Mom let him in and snuggled him too. Then we got a lecture about NEVER going outside without supervision. We also got a little pat for being smart enough not to leave the yard. Of course only one of us was smart enough to stay on the front porch.

  7. That's the kind of adventure Mum hoped never to have with Angel Isis and Angel Hercule, who were indoor cats. As experimented outdoor cats, we agree with your mom : outdoor is dangerous, even more for unexperimented indoor kitties ! Don't do it again ! Purrs

  10. Oy! Our human can just picture your mom's panic, trust us. Glad this "adventure" ended well.

    Look guys, you don't want to get lost like poor Tucker at "It's All About the Cats," and be gone for 11 days (and thank cod Tucker was found by his human and is okay).

  13. Oh no Greyson, glad you didn't go exploring any further. Pretty darn scary being outside. Glad you are both safe and inside. Poor Mom. I bet her heart hasn't stopped beating yet. Take care.
