Sorry Miss Oswin

At 3pm yesterday afternoon I let Miss Oswin out of the house. She hadn't been out for several days due to the bad weather, but despite some wind, it was dry(ish) and not too cold. Usually she stays out for about an hour or so before coming in again.

As I was knitting late afternoon yesterday I was wondering where Miss Oswin was. I called out, but it is quite normal for her to spend most of the day on her cushion in the hallway, so wasn't too bothered when she didn't come when I called.

As I was knitting some more yesterday evening, I wondered again where she could be. Normally she would have come in to try and sit on my lap or get some food. However, she never showed. 

As I was putting something away in the hall at 11.30pm I saw the keys in the door. I never went ou... oh, Miss Oswin was still outside!!

I opened the door, called out for her and there she was. Very indignant (I could hear it in the way she miaowed) and not happy in the least. Fortunately it had been quite dry and not too cold for the whole period she had been out and she usually hides under the roof, but she was hungry and fed up. 

Sorry Miss Oswin!

    1. She had stopped sulking about fifteen minutes later. She is a good kitty you know. Better than her servant in any case!!

  5. They do have their ways of letting you know, but their memories are usually short.

  6. I am surprised she was not jumping on windows and doors to get your attention. That's what our cats did but they were all certain it was their home and we were just lowly humans. Glad she was safe.

    1. In retrospect I might have heard her miaow at some point. And even if she had jumped on window sills or such, I wouldn't have seen her anyway, not from my seat.

  8. Glad the kitty is ok. When I get out, mum leaves the door ajar so I can come in. But she does not relax until I am actually home!!

    1. With the wind and rain and temperatures over here, leaving the door ajar is not an option.

  9. Sounds like she survived her outside adventure just fine!

  10. Sounds like she survived because she is one tough kitten.

  11. Uh oh, I hope Miss Oswin doesn't find some way to pay you back for leaving her. I am sure she was fine and having a good time outside.

    Ziggy Out!
