Our cat has gone away

[ailbhe]

Missing: One small, elegant, black-and-white cat, answering to the name of Charcoal when she deigns to recognise you. We haven't seen her this morning for her breakfast, and she didn't come in when called. There are no Charcoal-shaped sad, flat patches on the roads around here, though, which is reassuring.

She usually sleeps on our bed, and she always comes home for breakfast. We saw her yesterday evening. We're hoping she's found a house with people who feed her cream and cheese and other nice things, and will come home when she misses us.

If you see her, tell her we'd like her to come home for ten minutes to tell us she's ok.

I paniced the first time Angus & Mallory did this. I'd be tempted to start asking neighbours if they wouldn't mind checking their sheds if she isn't home by dusk.

This is why Mr Pratchett advises never naming a cat anything you'd be ashamedof bellowing at the top of your lungs from the doorstep whilst adorned in fluffy slippers and dressing gown.

We're hoping she's locked in next door, with next-door's cat who also usually shows up for breakfast, but didn't today.

When my parents were first married they had a cat which they named Trevor as a joke which stuck. Several months after they'd moved in to their new house, one of the neighbours dropped by and invited my mum and Trevor round for a drink - my mum was rather embarassed that the neighbour thought that she stood on the back step at dusk every night calling her husband!
