July 10th 2010 - Cat out on the tiles

by Kate
(London)

The other night Byron stayed out all night for the first time and I must admit to being a little anxious for him.

He usually quite happily comes in when i call them both around 11 pm but this night thee was no sign and I had to go to bed and hope he was ok

the next morning I thought he would be on the step waiting for his breakfast, but no there was still no sign. I shook his food bowl, I walked up and down the street for awhile and still no sign. Now i was worried.

Then at about 10am i open the front door to look out again for him and there he was calmly looking at me from the pavement. he saw me and ran chirruping and purring like mad. He was absolutely fine and totally oblivious to the fact that he had been out for so long.

I'm afraid Byron will always be the adventurer and i will have to get used to his little ways. Shelley on the other hand is quite happy to stay close to home and likes to check on us often throughout the day.

I guess i will just have to remember that he is a free agent and that it is up to him at the end of the day when and if he returns home. You can never truly own a cat.
