snuffy got out of the house last night. he usually cries when i go back in the house, but last night he was no where to be found. actually, that's an exaggeration, because i did find him. but he was in the neighbors' bushes, and wouldn't come out. when i tried to reach him, he growled at me like i've never heard him growl before! so i went in for the treats, and that did absolutely nothing. he'd get close enough to tease me, but never enough for me to catch him. i went to the door and went in and closed it, and sat there for a while, thinking maybe he'd get scared & lonely. when i opened the door he was looking at me between taking bites out of the lawn.

then i thought maybe real human food would get him, and that actually worked fast. but what happens now the next time i try to lure him with human food? first he would come to expensive kitty snacks, but then those weren't good enough for him. this time he came for tv dinner; next time i'm gonna have to cook something real.

in case you're wondering, right now it's windy like it's gonna rain, and snuffy's walkin around the house sniffin at the air...
