Out catting around
Dufus Claudius gave me quite a scare today. He was sleeping on my bed last night, but did not come in for breakfast. He was nowhere to be seen all day. He did not come in when the other boys were ready for supper. Now, I thought I saw a little black cat crossing the street this morning as I walked up the next street to the bus stop. But ---
It was the sort of day cats love for basking in the sun. High temp 79F, a few soft breezes, cooler in the shade, clear, birds singing, perfect Spring weather ... and The Dude has always been a wandering boy.
As my own supper was cooking, I went out and called him to no avail. Then I stopped a dog-walker on the street and asked "Have you seen a little black cat..."
She looked towards my house. "Is that him?"
He was in the doorway. I have no idea where he came from. Maybe he walks through walls!
