More feline woes

[starshadow_rivaulx]

Ma's favorite cat disappeared this morning. ::sigh:: That in itself is bad enough, but then she completely misunderstood the explanation the maid and I gave her about how Mocha exited the house last night (through my bedroom window, as per usual) and now she thinks Ramon and I *deliberately* shooed her darling away.

WTF? She could actually think that of me? I can understand her having an unfavorable bias towards Ramon's actions, because she always will, no changing that. But ME? Who cried like a baby just the other day when Ninja was run over?

I swear, times like these I am so glad I never had children...call me a weak soul, but I cannot conceive of doing my best by a child with what I have to handle with parents and husband. Gah. Ma actually waylaid me when I came in from checking the cats in the garage to berate me about "...what right do you have to throw Mocha out the window!"

::heavy sigh::

So I cried on Ramon's shoulder, and fortunately did not give him cause for heart palpitations or anything like that. Poor dear man...he was ready to cry himself after we did a sweep of the streets above and below ours, and no sign of Mocha.

Anyway. I've done the emo thing and I'm pretty much all right now. Just a bit blue, still. At some point in time, Ma will pull out the "You've got to be patient with the old" card, and life will be expected to go on as normal. Them's the breaks.

In the meantime, I do hope our little boy will find his way back home. If our other cats could go walkabout and return to us after days away, surely this one will too?

::hugs LJ-FriendsList:: Thanks for listening. Normal news tomorrow, I hope.

(hugs you)

am hoping your cat comes back soon, too. you've been through a lot lately, some good things are in order.

::hugs back::

All I ever want to believe is that if he doesn't come back, he's found a family to spoil him to bits. He's a love of a creature, not a single malicious bone in his fat little body. In that sense, it's easier to deal with a missing cat rather than the actual sight of a dead one.

But at least Ma has calmed down now. It's as if nothing has ever happened.

*hugs* So sorry. Hope he finds his way home.

I hope so too! But if not, I want to believe he's found a family that will love him and spoil him to bits. There not a single malicious bone in his fat little body!

Mama has calmed down, for which God be thanked. It's as if nothing ever happened. ::shrug:: In any event, I'd like to believe that if Mocha doesn't turn up, that means he's found a family to love and care for him, the little fatso. He's a sweet creature. (But then one's pets are always sweet creatures, generally speaking, yes?)

Sounds like your mom is very distressed about the disappearance of her fav cat and the death of ninja, and is taking it out on the messenger. I'm sure she doesn't mean to be mean *hugs*. You know it wasn't your fault, cats are sneaky-but very smart- creatures.

Yes, I know enough to let it go in one ear and out the other - it just got caught in the middle, and me PMS-ing, too. ::wry grin:: Mocha still hasn't come back, but at least Ma has sort of calmed down now. Besides, miracles can happen!
