This time of year is when it's nice outside so it gives me a chance to sit outside on the patio. The cats like going outside too and the patio is fenced so it works out great for them. Well today I had stuff to do so I wasn't going to sit outside, but one of the girls has gotten used to it and she was meowing at the patio door wanting out. So I opened the door for her and all 3 cats ran outside. OK cool, it's fenced and everything so they would be fine.
I had some things to do. I think the first thing I did was wash dishes from breakfast. Then I watched a little bit of the news on TV. Somewhere along the way I turned on the laptop and started working with the TV on in the background. Some time passed and I decided to turn off the TV. You know how sometimes you hear something but you are concentrating on something else so you ignore what you hear? I was hearing faint meows but I thought to myself "but I just turned off the TV; it must be outside." Yeah, it must be ....duh. Finally I looked around - where are my cats? I was all alone....that never happens. Finally it dawned on me - I had let them out and they're stuck outside unsupervised for I don't know how long.
So the end of the story is they were being good little kitties ....2 of them were on patio chairs just chilling and 1 of them (the princess) was meowing at the top of her lungs in front of the door. When I opened the door all 3 ran in like they were shot out of a cannon. Like they say, all's well that ends well, but I still can't believe I forgot....
