She’s strictly an indoors cat. Fortunately, when she does somehow manage to slip out, she never goes far and she always immediately comes back in. Sometimes, I leave the front door open for the briefest moment and she slinks out. Then I catch her slinking about the front of the door. We make eye contact, then she gives me a guilty “uh-oh” look and runs back in with a long gurgling meow.
One time, I stepped out for a brief moment and left the front door partially open. The neighbors’ door, which is adjacent to ours, was open, too. They were all outside trying to start their car. When I turned and headed back inside, Bella came out of their door. Then she saw me, gave me that guilty look and dashed into our door.
My neighbors will never know she had been in there.
If you’re one of my Facebook buddies, you’d be well annoyed by my recent barrage of Facebook status changes that have been flooding your newsfeeds (Take THAT, you quiz-takers and five-things listers!) and you’d also know I have just returned from a mini-trip to the coast and to Portland.
We left Bella home for ONE NIGHT and she had somehow gotten out. I don’t know how long she had been outside but, when we got out of my car, we were first greeted by loud frantic meows ringing through the early dusk. I instantly recognized her voice and cried out, “Bella?!” Yes, I can recognize my own cat’s voice. Don’t judge me.
She crept out from under the boyfriend’s car, crying and whining. I have no idea how long she had been out there and it scares me to think she might have gotten out soon after we had left last morning. When we opened the door for her, she eagerly ran in.
When she saw that we were taking too long to unload the car to come in and love her already, she came back out, sat on her haunches at the front step and waited.
When we finally got to the door, she scolded us and went back in.
Let me say that part again.
She scolded us…
She SCOLDED us.
Fricken’ Bella.

How scary though.. Tomo came declawed so she’s STRICTLY indoor only!! Once when I left her with my parents while on a trip, I get a call from my mom saying she can’t find Tomo! I FREAKED!! What happened was my dad didn’t pay attn when he opened the door, and she blew out! But my mom heard her cry when she started shaking the treat bag to find her, and she was hovering around the kitchen window OUTSIDE!!
Glad to hear that Bella is okay! And lol she snuck in to your neighbors! HA!
Over petting is fun till you get bit! O_O
whew.. good thing your kittie doesn’t go far. this one time my lil doggie got out and she ran into the middle of a HUGE intersection and i thought she was going to get hit by a car. but a nice man stopped his car sideways and helped me catch her ^-^ omg sooo nice of him!! hehe now she only comes out when i give her the ok (mwahahahaha dog whisperer that!! lol)
o.o errr.. how do you get scolded by a caat?!?! o.o
I’m glad to hear Bella is okay!! And yes, I know what it’s like to be scolded by a pet.lol
My dog slipped out one day not too long ago and I freaked!! Whats worse is one of our neighbors has a few pit bulls that are outside dogs. He doesn’t look after them properly and they’re very aggressive. I was worried that he might have run into one.
About 10 minutes later he came running around the house chasing the neighbor’s cat.
HAHAHAAHHAAHHAHAHAHA
omg. bella is such an odd lil princess, ain’t she?!
