Man, what a day!
I was at work in th emorning, came home at lunch to check on Tiggers, feed her, give her medicine.... and she's nowhere to be found. Total Panic.
After two or three hours of searching, and postponing work till tomorrow...... I thought she was lost, and I had theese horrible visions of a coyote or a dog getting her, or something very nasty happening her in her final days, of her being all alone in some dark smelly yucky corner, because I didn't take good enough care of her.
After almost three hours of searching in the house, outside the house, around the neighborhood, and even calling animal control to see if they didn't find her, I finally found her.
She made her way to the patio, and to the back side of the (above ground) jacuzzi, into a 6" space between it and a 9' high garden wall. First four times I searched that spot, I didn't see her. Had a pretty hard time getting her out of there.
It's been couple of hours since I found and settled her in, and I'm still feeling shakey. I know she will be gone soon, but not like this, like she was abandoned in some damp dark smelly corner.
Maybe she got out on the patio, and then the dog spooked her. Our dog is friendly - but too friendly for Tiggers comfort.... so after couple of sniffs, Tiggers usually heads for a hiding spot.
So, I have to go in the office again tomorrow. Luckily the guy there, is very understanding.
She's back in her cubby, snuggling and sleeping. She still gives me little headbutts and nose-rubs, and her tail and bum go up when I stroke her back.
