So Pixie was doing her morning routine -- sunbathing at the kitchen door, behind the screen.
The screen is loose-ish, but she is pretty good at not trying to get out.
Until, that is, Leo wanted to avail himself of the water trough outside the door.
I was in the bedroom and all I heard was crash bang wallop -- and then I saw a suntanned Sphynx go after a huge ginger Maine Coon - straight past the bedroom window. OUTSIDE.
No collar on, nada.
I ran into the kitchen, put shoes on, and ran outside. No sign of either Pixie, or Leo.
I'm calling, searching, calling, searching... Dreading they've run across the road into the woods.
Ten minutes into wandering the fields and back, I call, I hear a meow.
Pixie came strolling by, pleased as punch.
She evaded me trying to pick her up, but eventually came.
All is well again, but damn. No more sunbathing behind the screen. At least not without a leash.
(She's bitterly complaining that I closed the door, now.)
