I’m sleeping off my latest adventure. Last night I snuck out and climbed the tree after it was dark. I startled a big bird who couldn’t get away from me fast enough and made a lot of noise. I’m a brave Kitty but I admit loud noises scare me a lot.
When My Margret came out to look at me I was too fussed up to follow her voice and climb down.

She knows the best thing to do when I’m like that is to give me the time and space to calm down.

My Greg came out a little while later and while shining a flashlight to light my way (like My Margret did earlier) he talked me down low enough that he could scoop me up and take me into the house.

The first thing I did was run to let My Margret know I was back in the house. She said “Buddy, you’re here!” and ruffled my fur, I was happy to see her. My Margret said she wished I wouldn’t do things like sneak out when it’s dark but what can I say there were night noises to explore. Um, don’t tell her but I’m finding that I much prefer exploring during the day.

Note: Gus’s reflective collar, flashlight and air tag helped pinpoint his location. I saw and heard the commotion the bird made and understand why Gus was so scared. While we certainly don’t like that he snuck out in the dark we know that he is an excellent tree climber and although he sometimes likes to be coaxed he knows how to climb down and come back in the house. He’s keeping us on our toes, that’s for sure!

Sometimes you just want to hold your My Margret’s paw, I mean hand. ~ Gus Kitty

My spots look different depending on how I’m laying. Last night they looked like a slightly lopsided paw print! ~ Gus Kitty

You ask is this brotherly love or getting ready to roughhouse? Hmm, that is a very good question! ~ Graham Kitty

Now you see my beautiful spots, now you don’t! Hey, I look like Scruffy Pup! ~ Gus Kitty
