@benbradleyca.bsky.socialyou were correct rodney! actually, chris came by and did sentry duty on wednesday, keeping an eye out for her while i had to be away. he did make a sighting, which helped draw her in today

@benbradleyca.bsky.socialvery much 🤞
@benbradleyca.bsky.sociali feel utterly sick. mae slipped out into the night yesterday, because i didnt make sure a door was shut and the wind blew it open. spent the entire night looking and calling for her. shes feral or a barn cat, but has never been outside at our house. now have to go to work, returning after dusk...
