Shock

Oh my, my adrenalin is still running hot in my veins. After leaving the cats alone the whole day, I came home and let them out on the balcony as I usually do. And normally they would enjoy the fresh air, come in and check on me once in a while and tell me if they're hungry or just want attention.

Now and then I check on them, just making sure I know what they're at. But tonight I could only find one of them, trekking to and fro on the balcony acting weirdly. I looked down, and saw the other one (Zetti, the least adventourous one!) on the terrace below, just lying there. Oh the worry!

So I ran down the stairs (clad in nightgear), frantically ringing the neighbours door at half past eleven, hearing a rustle inside, and a voice asking who it was. Finally they let me in, and I could catch her. Luckily, since she's the elusive type.

I feel really bad for waking the neighbours up, but even better that my Zetti is back. And not hurt. She seems to be her old self, thinking what all the fuss is about.

Now comes the difficult part. I will keep them indoors for a couple of days, which will be difficult in itself, since already the other one is loudly demanding me to open the balcony door, but eventually I will have to let them out again. If they continue to jump down, I will have to consider letting them out on a permanent basis. Oh the worry!
