This is not the first time Mimi has been lured away when the moon was full. During the hurricane Ike, she left and was gone for a month. She came back disheveled and seedy looking, and not entirely repentant. Of course we took her in. It was the only humane thing to do under the circumstances. We never did learn much about her time away, but she seemed happy to be home again.
From time to time recently I had noticed a slight change in attitude and assumed she was getting bored with the same old conversations, and the long winter days. We were all experiencing a restlessness waiting for spring and the blossoming of new growth on trees and foliage.
As a change of pace I took to knitting and had long conversations on the computer with my sister in Baton Rouge. Consequently, Mimi must have felt a little ignored and when the opportunity presented itself, she took it and skipped the ship.
I can only hope she weathers the strife and storms of day to day living with a river boat gambler. Perhaps after the excitement of being romanced by moonlight wears off, she will decide to trade that life for one she left behind and come back home. We will take her in again, (of course) and will treat her fatuity as a thing of the past.

Chin up .... like the old folk song ...
The cat came back ... the very next day
The cat came back ... wouldn't stay away
We have cats down here at the 'Home', and they too have been very restless with the recent full moon and seasonal/time change ... routines change and such but cats don't like change... they want it 'their' way ... all the time -ahem - ALL the time I repeat!!
I suspect Mimi has gone off to consult with the Queen ... on all the big doin's over yonder... She'll likely say..."I've been to London to visit the Queen.."
I have a hunch she'll return before the next full moon ... Keep us posted...
Reporting for all the folks at the home, this is Perry G. Moon signing off and hoping you avoid any future 'cat-astrophes' ....
