Nysse is AWOL again. This time it’s been more than 24 hours, and unless he turns up in the next few moments, he’ll be gone for two nights.
Just like last time, it happened after he walked with one of us (me, this time) away from home and then at one point decided to not keep me company any more and run off on his own instead, and then apparently got lost.
I wonder how he can get so lost within a few hundred metres from home. Is he super distracted when walking with a human? Did we go so fast that he couldn’t pay enough attention to where he was going? Cats are supposed to have a great sense of smell – couldn’t he just follow his own tracks home? Cats are near-sighted compared to humans – is the other side of a street really so far for him that he doesn’t recognize it? And has he truly never been that far from home on his own?
I’m worried because he’s been gone longer than ever before. But I’m also not worried because he came back last time. He’ll probably be really hungry when he gets back.
