Much joy and happiness in the household today. Our cat Artemis disappeared 10 days ago.
We feed the cats every night and shut them in the barn. Every night about 5:00 they gather at the barn door, like clockwork. Ten days ago Artie didn't show up. We were worried, and our worry was turning to something like mourning. We had almost despaired of ever seeing him again. After losing my dog Maddie in July, this was a big gut punch.
Last night he came wandering down the path from the woods just like nothing had happened.
Tears of joy from both of us.
