GEORGE IS BACK!

 

Hello, friends!  He is back.  The little stinker George has returned to his home.  Where was he?  Who knows?  Not us, anyway.

I had put a notice up on facebook's neighborhood page.  Then my realtor saw it and posted it all over.  Lots of people were looking for him.  A few people said they had seen a cat matching his description at an intersection about 1/2 mile from my home.  I thought, "How would he get over there?" but went and looked for him three times.  On the last time I had my friend, Donna, in the car with me.  She saw a gray cat run across the street.  We were too far away to make a positive identification, and by the time we got to the intersection the cat was nowhere to be seen.

A lot of people were praying that I'd find him.  Thank you all so much!  I dropped Donna off at her house and then headed home praying that George would be around our neighborhood.  I looked the whole way.  (It's hard to drive and look for a cat too!)

When I got home everything was still the same.  I went in the door to the enclosed porch and then through the door into the house.  I thought I felt something brush against me.  And then I heard "footsteps".  Since the neighbors next door are redoing their house, it's hard to tell if the footsteps are in our house or theirs.  But I looked up and there was George on the steps.  I called his name and he stopped and turned around.  I called him again and he came downstairs.  I was so happy!

So where was George?  We had opened every closet and room in the house with no cat.  We looked under beds and behind furniture.  Nothing.  Was George outside and came in with me without me noticing him?  Was he in the house the entire time?  I guess we'll never know where he was those 24 plus hours he was missing.  But he is back now and I am so happy.

Thanksgiving is tomorrow and this is one thing I am giving thanks for.  See you all soon.
