neversremedy8We got about three hours of sleep. As I was chopping vegetables for Craig's snack, and Craig was brushing teeth, I heard, "Guess who's here!" from upstairs, if a bit muffled by a toothbrush.
I came rushing up the stairs so fast, I had to use both hands, and my knees protested the whole way. There was my little shadow sitting politely beneath Craig's homework table, his little white triangle visible even without my glasses. He seemed a bit spooked, but he purred after we'd checked him over for damage.
Neither of us have a clue where he was hiding. We'd checked every hiding spot we could think of. Craig said he'd started to go a bit nuts last night. I said, "I went a lot nuts. I started challenging invisible gods!"
We laughed. I was crying. Ana read the account of what happened last night, so she could understand why we were acting so strangely.
I stumbled back downstairs to finish making Craig's snack, and called to him. "Oh, and [friend's name] is coming in about two hours. I'm going to be hysterical either way!"
I could hear him laughing. I could breathe again without a reminder. We have no fucking clue where Ember's been hiding or why he didn't come when called, we only know he hid during the conflict between the other males, and is safe now. That's what matters.
We're also considering renaming him Mr. Mistoffelees (although I'd probably choose a Greek spelling). Craig had even joked before bed, before all the hell and horror, "Are your kittens going to keep up half the night?" Probably. Or at least one of them. Fucking cats. *conk*
