OFF LEASH: On the porch
"Off Leash" is an occasional column by Fiddler. Past columns can be found here.
Fiddler has kindly ceded control of this space for a week so that I, Huxley, a male cat approximately eight years in age, can make this important public service announcement. Here it is:
DON'T FORGET TO LET THE CAT IN.
This is a message that for me strikes particularly close to home. Earlier this week I was left on the screen porch overnight. This was not malicious on anyone's part: I simply slipped out when the door was open and got trapped. It wasn't until the following day that anyone realized what had happened.
There is no litter box on the porch. Nor food. Nor water. Nor any of the various cushions and couches, chairs and rugs to which I have become comfortably accustomed. And it's cold out there, too.
So, to reiterate, don't forget to let the cat in. Thanks, you idiots.
