Traumatic event – happy ending.
Our little cat, Gracie, who we adopted as a battered kitten about a year and a half ago (she lived under our sofa for 3 months), had a terrible adventure outside tonight. It’s kind of misty, and when I went out on the deck to feed the neighborhood stray, I neglected to close the door all the way when I came back into the house.
Gracie went outside. I found her quickly and she galloped for the door. Unfortunately, the screen door was closed and she couldn’t get in.
A little later, she started running from me for the front door, and it was closed. Then she knew there was no way back in.
Don finally found her about an hour later under a bush at the next door neighbors, but couldn’t get her to come in. I gave it a try and got her.
She was so scared. Full of leaves and twigs, and wet. Poor little kitty.
I got her into the house, and she’s busy recovering now.
