Dont get me wrong...i LOVE living with my BIG furamily...but i also miss my outside world...
On July 8, 2007 Mom grabbed me and brought me inside to live.
i have NEVER tried to get out before, but Friday night/ Saturday morning (3am), i decided i would just see what it was like outside.
Dad was bringing Sparky in one last time before going to bed and i was hiding behind a pail of Fresh Step, just inside the door.
i knew Dad didnt see me...He opened the door to come in and
ZZZZZIIIPPPPP...out the door i ran.
Mom was already in bed when she heard Dad's call for help.
Mom ran out of the house(boat) barefoot and came after me.
Hmmmm, why dont i recognize anything?
i lived in the sea wall opposite the boat for years and yet i dont see the sea wall??
Oh, i guess they moved the boat!
So i ran down the dock and found the steel boat that was my old feeding station and jumped up on it. OMC, whats this? A strange cat? i dont know this cat. As i turned to make a hasty retreat, i lost my footing and SPLASH, i was in the water swimming.
Mom was yelling...i swam to a a place i could climb out and did so.
Now i was wet and cold with Mom at my heels running down the dock once more.
i ran up to where the Marina Cats live...and encountered yet another strange cat...Where did all these new cats come from? i dont know any of them and they dont know me.
At this point i decided i better stop this hysteria and just go HOME.
i ran towards my house(boat) and Dad opened the door...
IN I RAN!!
Mom was crying now and ever so thankful that i came back inside.
She thought i was gone for good.
No, Mom...you see, i really do love those pat and rubs you have been giving me...and im staying!
Sorry for upsetting you.
i wont do that again.

Love,
Puffin
