Up until last week we had four cats, two boys, Gizmo & Binx, 5 years old and two girls,Misty & Domino, 3 years old. They have always been house cats because I have seen too many dead cats on the roads here in Spain and with our house being set over three floors there was enough room for them to all have their own space and a nice big sofa for when they wanted to have a cuddle.
Whilst I was pregnant Gizmo & Binx had to be treated for kidney problems and at the time the Vet told us that if the treatment did work it may come back and if so there wouldn’t be much that they could do. Thankfully the treatment did work and both cats were back to normal.
Unfortunately whilst we were back in the UK Gizmo was pining for us and he stopped eating, this was enough to set off the kidney problems again and last Wednesday evening he passed away.
So we were down to three cats…until Friday evening. We noticed that the cats hadn’t been around for a while and when we checked it turns out they had managed to open the door to the roof terrace.
Binx didn’t have any desire to leave us so he was just chilling out on the roof terrace but Misty & Domino had gone. When we came back downstairs again we found Domino clinging onto the rejas outside the downstairs window, she obviously decide against the “great escape” but Misty had other ideas.
So it seems that we are destined to only have the two cats now. Misty has reappeared on the roof terrace, maybe just to let us know she is ok, before promptly dissappearing again. I’m sure she will come to visit from time to time but can’t imagine she will be moving back in after living the high-life in the Village.
