Of course I can understand mom and dad being overprotective. I did have that four days where I was missing that I cannot explain. I do not know this Halloween they talk about, and do not know why any fall evening should be dangerous for a beautiful black cat, and I am becoming bored. My outdoor time is being seriously restricted.
There are only so many naps I can take at the foot of the bed, though when mom goes back to bed some mornings it is really a good place. So is the computer desk under the glow of the lamp.
I have been graciously allowed some outdoor time the last day or so. I love to claw on the porch and take care of my lovely nails. It is my duty to keep the strays away from MY yard and I intend to do so. I also alert to dogs.
I found a way into the shed, where they have stored more of my stuff while arranging the house. So far, no mice or moles. It is interesting under one tree in the back, however. The squirrels scold me loudly.
I know that winter is coming, and I will personally restrict my outdoor time myself. Mom and dad have been more generous with treats since I lost all that weight on my adventure. I have finally gotten them trained and although I have gotten my gorgeous figure back I can still talk them into giving me a bite of this or that, or cat treats if nothing else is available.
It is humorous to beg for their food, then turn my nose up when they share. Life is not too exciting here, and I think that is good.

Phase two of napping study will be to learn why they do not stretch their entire body.

@GardenGerty then I might progress onto why they never nap in the sun, solar energy is good for you

@Jessicalynnt Add the pros and cons of artificial sunshine when the genuine article is not available.

I hope there are kitty treats for Halloween. I deserve them.

@GardenGerty You will get, be sure. I have bought kitty treats for my "part-time" cat.

No active pest infestations at this time. I have checked inside the cupboards. Mom did not like that either.

You know, I had the worst headache of my life and those four days are just a blur to me. Must have been a real adventure, wish I could remember.

It must have been scary to have lost your black cat near Halloween. People can be weird.

It was also scary because we were in the process of moving fifty miles away.

I am not sure myself where I was, but I am certainly glad the folks left the porch light on for me.

It's good that you have them so well trained, but don't go off on an adventure again. It isn't worth the dangers just to make them worry, although I am sure they appreciate you more now. It is only right to turn your nose up at their food. It's appalling.
Completely lacking in mouse meat. Blech.

Hello Princess.
I am glad that you are limiting your own outdoor time as it is getting cooler.
You can stay in nice and warm with Mom and Dad

The secret of life is that cats bring naps. I like to give mom a nap whenever I can so she is rested.

It is great to sleep when I choose and demand treats and shares.
