I’ve been working on desensitizing Harley from our front door when it’s opened by giving her a treat as soon I opened the door. It’s a high-rise so I wasn’t too worried about any immediate danger on our specific floor level.
Many minutes later as I’m getting to leave the house, someone knocked at our door and the only word I could understand was “cat”.
The lady outside had to tell me that the cat literally just slipped back in as soon as I opened the door. Was it this one? Pointing to Peaches’ guilty but also confused face behind me. She said Peaches was just outside the door sitting patiently. *sighs* she didn’t even meow when she usually does when she needs something.
She is ok now but she did try to go in her tunnel unsure if I was mad at her or what the heck even happened. When she realized I wasn’t upset she came out right away and sat on the couch with me. I wrapped her in her blankie and kissed her profusely on the forehead feeling so guilty and a bit irresponsible about the incident.
Sharing this coz I’m usually very good at watching over the cats but today a lot has been on my mind and it goes to show that anyone could be distracted and things can happen in a split second.
So blessed I have caring and concerned neighbours and that Peaches didn’t seem super overwhelmed about the situation - just ol’ me.
