The Blues

I am a big animal person. I would have to be since I grew up on a farm. When I was little, I always imagined myself having dozens of cats, dogs, sheep, goats and horses.
Unfortunately I don't! I have a dog and a cat.
Back in November, the cat that my son found had become part of our family for two years and a few months. If was the first cat my husband liked. I felt as if he was a part of our family. When he was hit by a car, it broke us. We were devastated by the loss. My son who had adopted him wanted another. I wasn't so inclined on taking in another cat since we were so close to the other but we did. He found one on Facebook that he loved and we brought him home. He was tiny. The woman we got him from sad he was 8 weeks old but I don't think he was. I believe closer to 6. Any way that cat has made me love him. I tried not to like him because no matter what I did I thought of the other cat. Our new one will hide when you walk out the door and bounce sideways with his back stuck up in the air. It is so cute. And like the sucker I am, I love him. I call him my baby and I despise the road in front of my house. My son locks him up at night so he doesn't wander off but he has been taking longer strolls in the day. I think he's looking for another, if you know what i mean. lol. Well two nights he was gone. He didn't come home till late in the morning. Today, when I let him out of his cage, he took off in a run for the woods. It has been 6 hours and I haven't seen him.
It makes me sad. I hope he comes home.
