So - Today I ordered a perimeter alarm system to be installed. A lovely $1200 but I do get money off my homeowners insurance for having it and I think I need the peace of mind right now.
Adding up just the replacement value of the items that were stolen is depressing. I was appalled and really depressed. And still worried about my cat, Meeps.
But things got a little better today. I found some personal items that they didn’t get which I had feared they did.
And, best of all, at just after midnight I was getting ready to go to bed and I saw a little black cat outside the sliding glass door. Now, mind you, the feral colony we caretake has about 10 little black cats but this one didn’t appear to have the ear notch we use to indicate we’ve caught and fixed the cat.
So I sloooowwwllly go over and open the glass door to see what said cat would do. Instead of running which would be normal for the ferals, she meows and sticks her head in the door.
Several of the other cats come over and sniff at her and don’t hiss and she just meows at them. At this point she’s about 2/3 of the way in the door so I try shutting it. She bolts back out.
So I open the door again. Any feral wouldn’t even come close…. She comes in again, meowing. This time I (barely) get the door shut in time and actually get her head in it (don’t worry, not hard) and she struggles and fights but pulls back until she’s inside.
She heads for the hills… But when I put out some squishy food in the kitchen, she’s eating it like the first meal she’s had in days (which it may be) about 5 minutes later.
MEEPS IS HOME….
Well, a slight possibility it’s one freaked out and confused stranger cat, but not likely.
Hallelujah. That’s a big load off my mind.
