Lady was missing for ten days

Tweet

I did not want to come here and talk or anything. She went out on Thursday afternoon March 24. When Bob got the other cats in, she teased him, and ran away. We had some days of bad weather and I expected her to come back, and she did not. I posted her online locally, and we drove around and looked. Not a sign of her. I have seen for myself that she is a good hunter, and I also put food out for her. The other kitties acted like they were missing her. Thankfully, she was not dead. Bob has more cars than he needs, including one that is basically for parts. He puts tools in there when he is working on other cars. WE THINK she snuck inside when he had a door open while working on another car across the yard. For a couple of days he thought he heard her when he called the others inside. He would go out and look, because there is an abandoned house and garage next door where lots of kitties come and go. This morning we were preparing to go to my appointment. First Tinker hopped on top of this sports car. Bob thought he was watching birds in the trees overhead. Then Tinker went around trying to get in the car windows, which are closed. When Bob checked, he saw Lady. She would not let him get close to her. I was able to get her and put her in the house. Either she thinks he did it on purpose or some strange man/boy could have caught her and put her in as a prank. We lean toward believing she got in when the door was open on her own. There is a lot more on our property to fool around with than a junk car and nothing seems to have been touched. She has lost some weight, and is skittish, but okay. It is good to have her home.
