Thursday night, Margie heard a ruckus outside, and went over to the window and looked out. She saw, she believes, Sugar running across the street to our house, and believes she heard the kitty door flap.<\/p>\n

And that’s the last we saw of her.<\/p>\n

Last night, after we got home from Doyce’s, there was a message from the Denver Dumb Friends League, inquiring after her and referencing her DDFL collar number. We finally got through to them today, and, based on what had been reported to them, Sugar most likely had an unfortunate encounter with a wild critter (of which there are a few around here).<\/p>\n

Katherine is sad, but bearing up. She wanted to tell her friends, Kendall and Tyler, up the street first thing, since she said they were worried about Sugar, too. Margie’s more upset. Me? I’m blogging about it.<\/p>\n

Sugar was a great cat, in just the few weeks we’d had her. She was friendly as all get-out, chatty, always eager to be petted, and an inveterate licker of other people (which is amusing sitting on the couch at 8 p.m., less so in bed at 3 a.m.). She was, as has been demonstrated, a mighty huntress, so there is perhaps a “Circle of Life” irony around all that. She’d managed to, finally, charm Mist and even Indy, and had become a part of our household very quickly.<\/p>\n

Katherine wants another kitty right away, but I think we’ll wait a few weeks to let the emotions settle (and to avoid being in semi-lockdown while my parents are out for Labor Day weekend).<\/p>\n

Bye, kitty-kitty. You’ll be missed.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
