BOODIE-IN-THE-BASKET

By now you have heard about Boodie & Bubbles (my cats). Boodie has a penchant for disappearing. She doesn't necessarily escape to the outdoors, but she is so good at hiding, that I often panic that she has. Naturally, this hiding act tends to kick in as I am trying to leave. I always locate both cats, before I head out the door, and give them a kiss good-bye. I also like to ensure they are not accidentally locked in a room they shouldn't be in (something else they are good at.) So, here I am facing a deadline that is getting closer to being missed and I cannot locate Boodie.

I am staring at Bubbles, willing her to dish on where her sister is. No luck. At least Bubbles has a bell so I can usually hear her. Luckily she tends to spread out on the big blue chair and is easy to spot most of the time.

Finally, I resort to that high pitched kissing noise that will make any animal at least look at you. That worked. It didn't reveal too much, but what it did reveal was enough to get Boodie's ears to perk up. Picture number one shows what I saw from across my living room. Do you see the two little ear triangles sticking up inside the basket? Welcome to Boodie's new hiding spot. The following two pictures show how she looks as I walk closer to the hide out.

SWAK, now I can leave...
