Distracted the past couple days by the disappearance of Linus. I mentioned this on Facebook last night. Maybe he’ll come back.
Click for much larger image. I posted this on Facebook, yesterday the 26th.
Our beloved Linus, who appeared exactly one year ago yesterday with his mother on our back patio, has disappeared. Mother and later kittens were given up to East Bay SPCA, and quickly adopted. Linus grew up outdoors, and while we have tried to make him happy as an indoor cat, we’ve indulged his pining for outdoors — he looks outside the dining room sliding glass doors, and yowls — to let him go outside. He rolls around on his back on the patio pavement, and he has always come back in 2 or 3 hours. But I let him out yesterday at 3pm, and he has not come back, in over 24 hours.
Yes, I’ve read articles about how outdoor cats can be gone for days or weeks, and eventually return. I hope so.
I look over to the window where he would reappear every 10 minutes. Well, 5.
