Loss

Last night, as I was getting things ready for today, it dawned on my that I hadn't seen our cat, Stimpy for a while. I had cleaned out her litterbox earlier in the day...saw her earlier but hadn't seen her roaming as he usually does. I set out some food then thought I'd check in the morning maybe she's upstairs somewhere hiding...she does that sometimes.

When I woke up I didn't hear her usual meow...I went upstairs, she hadn't used the litter box. We looked around as I took the oldest to school. I kept thinking maybe she was just hiding. After work...still nothing around box...food still there from the night before. Stimpy was gone.

We've alerted our neighbors...maybe she'll return...be found. The last time she did this she was gone for about 6 weeks. But this time in 6 weeks, we'll be gone to the new house.

I can still remember when I first got Stimpy. She was a cute little kitten with an attitude. She is a light gray tabby with green eyes. Even though she wasn't really personable, she was a companion. I was just out on my own...teaching.

I hope she comes back...I kinda miss that whiny meow of hers.
