Is this all a game? Was this all a ruse?

Holy fucking shit these fucking kittens are going to be the fucking DEATH of me.

I have just spent an HOUR AND A FUCKING HALF searching my flat for an orange and white kitten.

Spike couldn't find her (but I had him searching the wrong room so not his fault. He tried.) Cassie's too busy yowling for sex to care. I searched the cupboards. I searched the fridge. I turned the dog couch upside down in case she'd managed to crawl up into the springs. I was starting to think about prying the side panel off the bathtub. I even looked out-fucking-side, and she'd have to walk through walls to get there.

I'd reached the point of praying out loud with TEARS running down my face when she casually strolled up behind me in the bedroom, yawning and obviously just having woken up from a nice long sleep while I'd been imploding and the other three had been crackmonkeying around the flat.

I still don't know where the fuck she was.

I need a fucking drink now.

...and am now praying out loud with gratitude, for the record.

Yes.

Nuku used to constantly disappear. I never did figure out where all her hiding spots were, but she'd come wandering out a few hours after I had decided she was clearly dead or she got out or or or or, and would be perfectly fine.

Cats are obnoxious that way.

I knew it was a thing cats did - Maisie used to do it to Mum regularly before we got Spike and after Spike and I moved out - but hell, I live in four rooms total and they're mostly not full of clutter. I just couldn't see where the hell a cat would FIT that I hadn't already searched. Even a small one.

it's some sort of dimensional shift, I'm guessing. She fell asleep and forgot to phase back into our plane of existence.

it's some sort of dimensional shift - she went to apply for a job as a kitling-scout on the new planet of the cheetah people ;)

If her performance here was any indication, she'll make a brilliant scout! Little monster.
