Cat Thoughts

Two years ago, right after I moved in here with my partner, a cat came up to me when I was sitting on the steps downstairs. I stroked her and she moved on and I thought nothing of it.

A week or so later, she was brought upstairs to our apartment by my partner’s grandchild who was visiting us. The cat was very calm and explored everything and left.

The next day I was out on the balcony looking down and saw her cross the lawn below me. On an impulse, I called “Here, kitty kitty” and she looked up. Then, and I swear I am telling you the truth, I could see her figuring out how to get up to me! She jumped to the neighbor’s fence, then on to her barbecue, From there to the overhang of her roof, up the roof and a quick leap over about three feet of empty space to our balcony. And that is how she became Mz Kitty, otherwise known as “Your cat” as in “your cat wants to go out…”

I can’t bear to write any more now … she has been missing for over two weeks…
