Chester - flood of relief

Fred got up at the crack of dawn to go on a hiking trip for three days and I
couldn't find Chester after he left. I thought Chester had run out into the
cold dark morning and was very concerned about his safety.

When I got home at 4:00 PM, still no Chester.

Neighbours now driven insane by constant whistling for Chester by 8:30 PM.

Food dishes were empty in the AM so something terrible must have befallen
Chester if he hadn't come back by then.

Inspiration struck and I checked downstairs in the locked storage room.
There was Chester mewing faintly just where Fred had accidentally locked him
15 hours previously. Cheerful as always, he chirped and rubbed on
everything as he came up for a scritch and a snack. Whew! If it had been
Otis, the whole neighbourhood would have heard him!

Christina Websell...

Ah, bless his little cotton socks. Poor Chester. I know how it feels to
have a cat missing but at least Chester has an excuse and Boyfie hasn't.

Norm...

Glad all ended well. Harry is doing well after his being locked in the
garage, you reminded me that while Harry was still missing I couldn't
find Bosco and was really feeling vey much in the center of a predator
scourge, Bosco had snuck in the master bath behind me and I didn't see
him (door is kept closed due to Loos' unwelcome bathroom habits).
Hopefully my scares will diminish as the new guys learn the household
routines. Norm with Quinn, Loos, Case, Bosco, Harry and Tao.
