Vacancy
wake up and I automatically think about feeding Bugsy, then remember she's gone. I walk into the entertainment room and expect to see her lying in her accustomed spot on the back of the couch, but she's gone. We have a lot of useless catfood lying around. I watch TV and look over expecting to see her and she's gone. My wife had a dream with her. I haven't had any.
She was a stray that just showed up at our back door three years ago. I let her in and she never wanted to leave. She was a frustrating cat. We used to call her Danger, because she would occasionally decide to pee on the carpet even though we had a catbox. I can't stand the smell. When we kept her outside all night long, she would often wake us up between 4 and 5 in the morning. But then we decided that calling her Danger may just add to the problem, so we went back to the name my wife originally wanted to give her. She never changed her behavior.
We may have rid ourselves of her if she wasn't a perfect and loving lap cat. She was a stray, but loved our laps and loved being petted and purred all the time. So we were always torn between her bad behavior and her loving ways.
Well, looks like she solved that problem for us. Time to get a new carpet. Then maybe we'll go looking for a couple of kittens.
