Lost Garfield for a day... finally, a sigh of relief!

Sunday, our cat executed a disappearing act that would have made Houdini proud. After a day's search inside and outside the house, there were only 2 conclusions to be drawn: abduction by an extraterrestrial being or the cat took a slant on the wild side. Our cat never went outside alone, so we were a bit worried to say the least....

Our last desperate move was to rattle a bag of treats on the veranda after sunset. Luckily, this produced 2 beaming eyes and a distinctive "meow"... Gushing out with a flash light, I realized quickly that I would not be able to capture our elusive cat easily in the wide opened space. Capitalizing on its tendency to smell any extended finger, I managed to grab one of its front leg like a snapping turtle... proving once again that old age and treachery can overcome agility and speed!

Meanwhile, I'm getting ready for my second mini exhibition in the context of a concert tonight...
