I'm back from Beth's wedding, and little Samantha gained about 0.6 lbs during the week that I was gone! When Jeremy and I got back, she had finished all of the dry food that he left for her two days earlier. Clearly, Sam has some psychological issues with obsessive eating, so now we're back on track and helping her to continue to shed the pounds.
On a more exciting note, Sam was just 'rescued' from an illicit adventure in the great Outside. We've been leaving the window open to the porch so she can sit semi-outside and enjoy the view and sunshine. Only a bit ago, I noticed that she was missing and began looking in all of her usual indoor hiding places while calling her, but she didn't show up. I checked the porch after closing the window, but no Sam, so I finally went outside and began calling, hoping that she was close by if she had somehow gotten out. Less than a minute later, I noticed a small black and white cat sitting in the neighbor's driveway, calmly watching me. We have some black and white strays in the area, so I approached slowly, but it was indeed Sam! She seemed a little spooked, but she let me pick her up and bring her inside for a small tuna snack to remind her how much better it is inside. Now she's lounging around as per usual as if nothing interesting happened, but I can only imagine what went on during the hour or so that she was Outside!
