Today we had the rainstorms we wished for all summer, complete with thunder and lightening.
I got caught downtown at Don's Supermarket and was killing time while I waited for the rain to lessen, so I bought a lottery ticket...won...bought another....won...bought another...won...bought another and finally lost. None of them were very big winners but I was ahead $10 before the rain slowed down. I was halfway home when another deluge hit and I came home totally soaked.
I toweled myself off and crawled into bed, turned the electric blanket on until the chill was gone and took a nap.
When I woke up, I remembered I was supposed to check on Elaine's cats while she's away over the weekend. Remember Mittens and Koala, who were supposed to go to new homes in July? They're still here. I threw on my raincoat and walked over to the back door thinking I would just check on their water and food.
I opened the door and a blur of wet gray and white fur flew in beside me. It was Mittens who had been outside. He went right to the food dish and started scarfing down kibbles. I changed the water then began to wonder...where was Koala?
I called all over the house. No Siamese. Darn. I had a flashlight in my jacket so out in the rain I went again. I checked under the deck. I looked at all the boxes in the garage. I even checked out my garage since he's been know to go in there. Meanwhile, it was raining and I got all wet again.
I decided to wait half an hour and go back to take another look, but by then the student renter was back. I hope that she either found Koala inside or let him in if he came crying. I realized the kibble bowl was empty when Mittens came in. Surely that meant that Koala was in the house all along?
I guess I'll find out tomorrow. Just to be on the safe side, I'm leaving our garage door open and put a cat bed out there. You never know.
