stupid cat

The animal disappeared today, and my mom was convinced she was gone/dead. Searched for six hours. I came home at 5:30 in heavy traffic, got home at 7:30. Two hours of hell.

I helped search the house and neighborhood. No sign of cat. No response to usually attractive noises. Doom, gloom.

At 8 pm cat shows up in the kitchen as if nothing happened. WHERE THE HELL WAS SHE? She likes to find cool dark places and disappear, but this is a new record.

Grump grrr rowr.
