Skittles Adventure

Shortly after I posted the previous entry with Skittles being so adorable - she escaped.
It was Monday Feb 16th - I just got home from class and was relaxing, and eating dinner. A little bit later I noticed that I had not seen Skittles since I got home. I woke Jeremy up and asked him if he saw her. He said he had, but had not seen her in a while. Skittles ALWAYS greets us at the door when we get home. Jeremy said that he accidentally left the back door open when he let the dogs in and he saw it later and shut it. We searched the entire house - No skittles. We then started to look outside, call her name, and even took treats out there and was shaking the bottle. Nothing! We figured she would eventually come home later. The next morning there is no sign of her. We both go to work and then come home and start looking around the neighborhood and also ask any neighbors if they have seen her - still nothing. Jeremy makes "missing" posters with her picture on them and posts them around the neighborhood. He also puts her food, water and litter box outside. We go to bed hopeful that she will return - Wednesday morning - still no sign of her. By this time I am really worried that something bad happened to her. I had class that night, so Jeremy went to the animal shelter to check and see if someone turned her in there. I call him after class and he tells me that she wasn't there, and that he just got home and she wasn't there either. I get home about 30 minutes later and start looking at lost pet websites. I go into the kitchen a little bit later to make dinner and hear this really loud "meow". I ask Jeremy if that was coming from the TV and he said
"Yes" Then I see what he is watching and it's Jurrasic Park - I really didn't think there could be a cat on that movie. I go back into the kitchen and hear it again, I yell to Jeremy that I hear a cat, he gets up and goes outside and I check in the garage and IN RUNS SKITTLES. I was so happy that I started crying. I think she knew that we were really sad she was gone and since her return has been extremely loving. She must have had quite an adventure because she just had a scratch on her nose and ear. All I can say is that Jeremy and I are very happy for skittles return.
