Milly
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Friday, February 17, 2012

2 nights ago, Milly found a hole in a screen and squeezed her way out side. Leon her a noise but couldn't find where it came from.
The next morning, I ate breakfast, and she never showed up. I thought that was strange as she always knows when I'm eating and I share with her whatever I'm eating. Lunch came and went and still no Milly, I called her even looked outside but she never showed up.
BTW, we don't let her outside as she is just too little right now. We have far to many predators.
Later in the day, Latae walks in the room purring like crazy. I thought it was strange as she hasn't been that happy in a long time. Then in the evening, she jumped up on the bed purring and purring and purring. I said, Latae, did you eat Milly? you are far to happy, just what did you do to her? (I was joking).
I then tore a few things apart to see if she died somewhere and couldn't find her. I thought, she must have squeezed out the window.
It was about 11:30 and I heard a noise outside, as if something was trying to climb the siding. I went outside and on the steps was Milly. She was nervous to come in but after I talked to her a little she came in. So skinny in just one day of not eating. It took her a couple hours to settle down. I gave her the fat scraps I had cut for her earlier (as Latae doesn't eat them) and I gave her a couple little pieces of cheese.
mom thought maybe she was going into heat for the first time and that is why she made a break for it. I don't know, but I am glad she is back.
This morning, I shared with her some of my eggs (as I do most days) and she was back in the routine. I am just glad it wasn't super cold out.
As for me, I slept a little better, but not great. My sinuses are still aggravated but doing a little better. I have been sipping a ton of peppermint tea as it just opens my breathing up so much more.
