Last night things got a bit hectic after 10. That's the time when all the cats are home, and anyone outside is called and brought home especially in this weather.
Twinkle hadn't come back and no matter how much his name was announced he didn't make an appearance which happens rarely.
The location of his air tag suggested that he was a bit further off and that was his last seen location. There was no live location broadcast which was a bit alarming and my mood, annoyed as it was got worried.
Around midnight when there was no twinkle in sight I found myself in bed thinking the worst.
Somehow my dreams didn't help. They were the most bizarre montage of confusion and desperation and sometime around 3 I was awake and unwilling to sleep.
At 4 I donned all the clothes on my nightstand and went out to find little twinkle again.
I had so many anxious thoughts and my dreams helped none.
The cold out was a slap to my face and my twinkling fairy lights around the garden were looking eerie. It was almost like a fevered disco from my dreams and once again twinkle was a no show.
I kept looking around the garden, calling his name, walking around the front yard but nope!
I contemplated going out of the compound to check for him around the roads when a tree near me began whispering in spooky susurrations.
I looked up and in the twinkling lights I saw my little white rabbit of a cat climbing down with nearly as much as worry as me .
I opened the door to let him inside the house and he shot in like a bullet.
I wanted to ask him where he'd been all night, but he looked so shaken I let him be, and soon both of us were fast asleep.
That I exhaled in relief for almost a minute would not be an understatement.
