12. It takes me bout a nanosecond to panic if I can't find one of our 4.

35+ years go, one of our cats got out of the house without our knowing, and was hit by a car and was gone. One of our neighbors came to tell us. She was an indoor cat, and had not ever shown any interest in getting out. We never figured out how she slipped out.

Due to that devastating experience, the moment I can’t find one of our current kitties, my mind immediately goes to worst case scenario status. Heart rate up, knot in my stomach, etc.

To help ease my tendency to panic, each of our cats wears a TILE device on their collars so that I can “beep” them with my phone if they are hiding somewhere. It’s really good peace of mind.

Give Sian a pat on the head from me, and yourself a hug.
