Warning: Cat story ahead

Last week Morgan got her wish and ran outside when I got home unnoticed. However I don’t think ‘unnoticed’ is actually part of her wish because normally she waits halfway down the hallway for me to accompany her exploring, giving me a ‘hurry up’ meow. Andrew noticed her missing 15-20 minutes later when she didn’t come for dinner, and found her crouched in the corner of the doorway of the apartment below us. At least one person had come through the outside door which always scares her back home, but Morgan doesn’t have a good concept of how stairs and apartments work so she always runs for the door above or below ours.

Back home she was still scared and wouldn’t eat. Since we were going out to dinner ourselves, we put her food up for later since Merlin was already finished and walking over with his ‘are you going to eat that?’ look.

I know it’s silly to compare your pets to kids, but since we don’t have the real thing yet…

First, I was thinking there was some hope for being able to go out without thinking about the “kids” nonstop since I was worried about Morgan when we left, and worried about her on the way back home, but had a normal dinner with friends in between.

Then after dinner, Andrew was sitting with her while she ate, making sure Merlin didn’t push her out.

Watching him with the cats, especially moments like that, I can really see him being an amazing future dad as well.

I feel like I should post every couple days and just say, “Still not crazy yet.”

It was a little dicey on Thursday when I had a parking ticket at lunch because someone had taken my parking spot, but the company ended paying for it.

Otherwise, still not crazy yet.
