@HelloHound you have the most pet stories to tell, so I want you in this thread! And @K5Rakitan a toddler is like a really high-maintenance pet! So you too!
Yesterday night I was working on schoolwork in the porch, and at one point, I left to go to the bathroom. Coming back, I heard leaves crunching outside. Looking out, I saw our cat Jackie in the darkness! Its glowing eyes looked at me curiously. I couldn’t believe that somehow Jackie the cat had escaped while I had been in the bathroom because I had been careless or something even though I was certain the doors had been closed!
I tried cajoling the cat inside, and even brought treats but she wouldn’t listen! She even managed to escape the backyard and leave the fence!
It felt like following a will-o'-the-wisp, because she kept pausing, and turning to look at me with her bright eyes shining in the darkness when I talked to her, and she kept getting further away from the house every time I got close!
So I had to wake up Nana and Papa, shame and dread burning in my throat.
Only for Nana to find Jackie… sleeping in the living room safe and sound?

It was a neighbor’s cat, or fox, or raccoon or something playing tricks on me!!!
