Motherly Instincts

If you've been reading my blog for a while now, you know that I'm not really a kid-fan.

Unless you're talking about this kid. He's awesome.

Let me preface this by saying... I know it's not the same.

BUT.. last night this little guy didn't come home. And still hasn't come home for that matter. 


He's quite the little con-artist and he scaled our "cat proof" fence and escaped. He does this all the time, but usually he just goes to the front door. Lewis meows like crazy, and I know that Sam has escaped.

And onto the point of my poorly written post. I barely slept a wink last night. I was up all night  with worry... and even this morning I feel like I'm going to puke. I miss my little buddy's kitty head-butts this morning. I fully expected to see him sitting on the front step this morning, merely due to the fact he'd be starving. That cat is a food whore.

I can't imagine how mother's worry about their children, if I worry this much about my cat.

Maybe there are motherly instincts buried in me somewhere after all.

Come home Sam, you little jerk.

..not so motherly. I know.

Hope Samuel comes home soon, I'd be beside myself if one of my furbabies got out. *hugs*

Hope he comes home soon!!! Take heart, because I've heard SO MANY stories of cats that leave for days (even weeks) at a time and then finally come back, meowing and angry, like somehow it's their owners who are at fault!!

I'll be thinking of you until yours returns home!

I lost my comment after typing in that friggin robot test word - agh!

I've been there many times with Chandler too. FIrst when we moved from an apartment when he was a strictly indoor cat to a townhouse when he went out on our back yard patio for the first time and "escaped", then when we moved to our first house in "the country" and I worried he'd get lost in the woods, then when we moved to our current house where we actually have bears, coyotes, bobcats and raccoons and I worried he'd get lost in the new territory or get in a fight with something. But the little trooper always makes it home and is a very unhappy camper when not allowed outside.

And yes, it IS a motherly instinct. Before my actual offspring, I would have been completely crushed if anything happened to our pets and while of course I would still be heartbroken, when offspring came along, the pecking order changed around naturally and while I would still be devastated if anything happened, I can already tell it is different than before. Can't really explain it. But I remember very clearly how incredibly worried I was when Lucy got kennel cough - on the verge of bursting into tears at any moment!

I hope he's there by the time you get home tonight.

P.s. I call my kids jerks all the time - no to their faces, but still....

Oh Amy, I 'lost' Stoopy twice when he bolted out the back door during two different moves. Once he was gone for three days and I went back every day before and after work looking for him. He was stuck in some blackberry brambles but eventually I found him by shaking a can of treats and following his meows.

I was a wreck the entire time. Crying like a mad fool.

Come home Sam!!! xox
