here we go again!
It was a year ago that Mouser disappeared over a long snowy winter and devistated M and me. It was the happiest day when he came home, flying across the street. At that time we vowed he'd never go out in bad weather again.
Cue the bad weather!
He didn't have too much of a problem staying in when it snowed. Today it is really cold, but not snowing. Plows are done running, etc. We decided he and PD could go out. M opened the door, the walked out on the deck, then promptly walked back in. This was repeated one more time. After that, the door was shut and locked.
You'd think we were shaving the skin off Mou. Oh the crying! Oh the wailing! He even pounced repeatedly on the glass door like he was a dog.
I picked him up, explained to him that momma couldn't handle that fear ever again, and he yelled right in my face! After realizing I was not going to let him out he went to the basement to sulk.
So as far as I know, that's where he is now. Sulking (sleeping) in the basement. Tonight will be rough with all his howling, but I'd rather hear him howl than hear my own sobbing.
I'd rather have cats than kids though. Besides, kids are for people who can't have cats :)
