I don’t think we’ve ever lost so much during a move. But this time we’ve lost plenty. From the car key’s, to where Dude’s brush got packed, to a single pillow case that I really want before our new bed get’s delivered. Oh and Mexxi got out and away on our first day here too, but she got picked up down the road by a council worker.
Of all the things that we’ve lost, our cat would have to be the biggest thing ever. It was 3 coming on 4 weeks ago now that Oscar slipped out the back door in his first 24 hours here.
It’s never happened before. The closest we came was Diva the first night I moved in with Tim, but we managed to catch her.
The key’s bother me, because they had the remote key for the car on it and they’re expensive to replace. The cat’s brush, I can buy another one of those and never even know the other is missing. And the pillow case I did just find while looking for the keys in the shed.
I just wonder, at what point do I stop wondering? Get what I mean? I wonder if he’s even alive. I wonder if someone has taken him in. I wonder if he’s just still travelling back to the old house.
I wonder. When do you move on??
=(
I am so sad for you Boo, but I also know deep in my heart that wherever Oscar is he is being well taken care of!
Oh, and I keep coming up with things to add to my list of stuff lost in our move from this summer. If I don’t find my christmas stocking that was hand made for me for my first ever christmas, I will be SO pissed off!
Thats what I kind of hope Katie. That as much as I’d like him to come home to me, I’d also rather he be taken in by some kid somewhere so he’s not travelling the busy roads on the way back to the old house. At least he’d be safe.
I remember when I was 15 I was not allowed to have a cat. There was a ginger stray living under the house next door and I fed him at night time despite instructions not to. I hope some little girl out there is feeding Oscar out the window at night time!
Oh and I hope you find your Christmas stocking too. Maybe you need to be looking for something else?
While looking for the key’s we’ve found the cats brush and the pillow case. We were glad about that because we have our king sized bed coming soon and we needed it to complete the only set of king sized sheets we have!
(p.s glad you figured out 0+9
