Yip, he is conkerless. This is all entirely my fault. He travelled under the car half a mile from home, then jumped down and ran off.
I didn't sleep last night so I have been sent to bed by A. I've spent the day distracting with various things and I'm shattered but sleep just doesn't come..... but that's becoming my normal again.
A has asked me to knit him a jumper so I've ordered wool and I'm going to try keep it a secret and do it for Christmas. Hope I get it done in time!!

You mean the cat was in the engine or something??....don't blame yourself! Cats can be strange things. we have two. One of them..Fang...used to disappear for days. We'd be tearing our hair out then she'd just saunter through the cat flap one day then give us the 'what are YOU looking at' face and that would be that!! Good luck with the jumper. I'm knitting one for granddaughter.

Hey love, how are you? Did you get any sleep? Have you told your care team that you're struggling to sleep? Any sign of your kitty?

It is NOT your fault! Cats do that and, unless you can say we’d all get under our cars to check them every time, no one can prevent this

When I was working one of the guys told me his cat had been sat on top of the cars engine (they go there because of the heat from the engine) they traveled for miles and it was only when they stopped and heard something and it was only after they opened the bonnet (hood) that they found the cat, it had some injuries (probably burns from the hot engine) but survived. It lost one of its nine lives that day and after that was a bit of a nutjob.
Cats do go missing and sometimes they get locked in peoples' sheds or garages.

I'm ok. Still no sign of the kitty. Io and her boyfriend are hoping to go down hunting when she gets home from work.
I'm just back from a swim so brain is a bit easier. Still not sleeping great but we will see how the weekend goes.
I did a zoom call with our minister and a small connect group this morning. It was nice to connect as we haven't been to church since lockdown in March. Hoping to do some knitting this afternoon. The house is a mess so I need to clean but I haven't got the motivation for it yet. Maybe later.

How are you doing love?
Sorry that there is no sign... Blinking cats. Mind of their own...
So glad you got to go for a swim and that you got to speak to your minister. Not being able to go to church is so hard.
How's the knitting this afternoon?

So no knitting done yet. I did a bit of hoovering instead and kinda just sat wasting time.
I'm worried about the kitten. He is only 6mths. Only been going outside for a few weeks and probably totally lost far from home with no idea how to get back. I feel so so guilty and thoughts of him crying lost and hungry are overwhelming me.
How could I be so negligent as to not check the car. I don't know how many warnings I've read to bang the car bonnet this weather in case of cats hiding.
Anyway, fire lit and going to lift the knitting needles soon. The wool arrived today for A's jumper but I haven't had a chance to look at it as he's been around. Still hoping to keep it all a secret for Christmas. Sshhhh dont tell him. I'll just have to work on my own jumper tonight.

Hunni, stop beating yourself up about it. I know you're scared and worried, but right now beating yourself up isn't going to help you or him. Sweetheart it was an accident.
