Fluffy disappeared four months ago. One morning she went outside and never came back. I have no clue what happened to her. Many years ago the same thing happened and she was gone for about seven months. I keep praying she will come back. When she was born she was so ugly. What can I say? I loved her but she was not a pretty kitten. She was one of three. She grew up to look like a beautiful Siamese cat. How that happened is beyond me. Alley cat is more like it. There are two other cats in the neighborhood who look like her. She and Treeki hung out together and always in the same place. If I wanted to find either of them I went to the back of the property and there they were just sitting somewhat close together and watching the world go by. She used to spend the mornings on top of my computer monitor when I was trying to work. I say trying because her favorite trick was to put her tail down right in front of the screen. And, why was it always right where I was trying to work? She usually went out about noon. I got most of my computer work done in the afternoon. When the weather was cold she was such a good heater at night. She would crawl right into the crook of my knees. I don't know how she breathed.

The last time she came home something was prompting me to open the front door before light. When I did I saw a white streak go across the porch, I was happily surprised but knew she was home. The next time she comes home she may never get out again. LOL
