Pinky Ruth #83

My abandonment continued the following morning. Maddie never came home to me like Karin said they would. I waited by the door as long as I could. I was confused and crestfallen when I finally gave up and burrowed under the blankets on the bed.

When I woke up 13 hours later, I was still all alone. I was hungry and thirsty. I even considered drinking out of the toilet. As a discerning lady, I have never, ever stooped to the level of a lowly, common, feline toilet sipper. The longer my abandonment continued, however, the more attractive that dreaded toilet water became.

I missed Maddie terribly and wondered where they were. I wondered if they were missing me too. I missed Karin and wished she would visit me again. I even found myself missing Lay-dee. Lay-dee is not my favorite. But at least at Lay-dee's house, my water bowl is always full of delicious, filtered, suburban water system water.

I was at my lowest point when Maddie finally walked through the door. Maddie cuddled with me and I meowed my happy meows. Maddie then told me stories about buses that never left the station, expensive $850 flights, and suspicious packages shutting down trains. They had been stranded in Spokane!

Maddie said, "Oh Pinky Ruth! You have no idea what I've been through!" I quickly jumped down from their lap. Our happy reunion cuddle time was over. I loudly meowed back, "What YOU have been through? I came THIS close to drinking toilet water!"

But then they gave me food and water, clean litter, and the good behind the ear scratching. So we are friends again.

Signed, Pinky Ruth, no longer abandoned
