Day 38

Today my human was gone for a long time. The neighbour, Mrs Tiddles’ human, came in and talked to me and gave me something to eat but it’s not the same. Once a long time ago she came in every day and my human wasn’t here for a long time. I stayed very quiet. It didn’t feel right. Then one day there she was! I didn’t hear her come in. I had given up hope that she would come home. I had stopped listening for her. I let her stroke me and I purred but I didn’t let her know how frightened I had been that she had left me. Last time that happened I was left alone outside and I never saw that human again.
