A Belly Cat Adventure

Last night around 9:30pm we discovered that our persian cat of 7 years, Bellamy was missing.  We were wondering where he was.. we searched the whole house and he was no where to be seen.  Then we thought maybe he's in Ava's room.. but she was asleep so it was hard to look for him in the dark with out waking her up.  Our neighbor knocked on our door and informed us that he was about three houses down hanging out at her place.  She said she first spotted him walking down the street around 10am.  A door got left open before Ava & I left for the day, and we had a cat on the loose!  He was so scared when we went to get him, he wouldn't let anyone get close to him.. even me.  Around 10pm I brought him catnip toy, something to remind him of home.  He slept outside with the feral cats.. the house he decided to camp out at is the most cat-friendly house the neighborhood.  Our neighbor, bless her heart gave him food & water.. and even a basket to lay in!!  Around 7:15am I heard a meow.. Belly's meow.. I jumped out of bed.  He was on our front porch!!  Our neighbor helped show him the way back home by luring him with food.  We are sooo happy to have our Belly Cat back home.  We bathed him and now he is a clean, happy cat back in his home!

All clean!
