Mia and Nala are making me nervous--doing what cat's do.

Well, I had a scare yesterday morning because I couldn't find either of the girls! Alden and Hans were like, "Mom, they're cats, they are hiding, they are still in the house, they are fine!" But you know me!

So I went on a hunt and looked under everything. I got down on the floor with a flashlight, I called their names, I called "where are my girls?" just like you do. No luck, no meows.

Then, I looked in the closet in Logan's room. And there was Nala! How she got into the closet I don't know. The doors were closed, but they are the kind that pull/push on themselves. Hans says he had opened the doors, but he didn't think any cat got in. Anyway, she came out, I made sure she ate, she jumped up on the bed and purred, and I brushed her a ton! She loved getting brushed and sat in the sun and purred and we talked and she was very happy.

Then, I needed to find Mia. No Ninja kitty for me. I finally got smart and crinkled the snack bag. I went from room to room. Finally, downstairs, I hear a little cat jump and there she is! Hans knew she liked hiding in the bookcase downstairs, but I couldn't ever find her. So yesterday he showed me where she lies. She is on a second shelf behind the Harry Potter books! I think she is Professor McGonagall in disguise!

She has a great hiding place and she can see out, but it is hard to see her!

Anyway I was spent after my worries. Last night I got up to go to the bathroom and they were both in the hall by the top of the stairs. Hans is right, they do move around at night! This morning--cat litter everywhere! (even in the water bowls!). So they have been eating and pooping and peeing and roaming free.

Yesterday I tried to entice them each to a sunny windowsill. First Nala, then Mia. There were squirrels outside, and they could sit in the lovely sunlight and watch those silly creatures run all over the place, but they didn't like it and ran away.
