Buttescotch a.k.a. Sweet Sugie Pie or Angel Baby Girl

I had a rather tramatic weekend taking photos of my new artwork. I left the screen door open so my cat, Butter, could come out for some fresh air and play in the leaves. She is an indoor cat, and is about 100 years old in kitty years. She is usually timid and scared of the outdoors, so I had no worries.

About an hour goes by, I am taking photos and enjoying the time with her outside when I look over and she is gone! GONE! My baby girl.... I was frantic. I ran inside looked all around for her, thinking she just came back inside. And after about 10 minutes, I realized she never came in. She was outside still.

I hunted that neighborhood for over an hour with treat bags in hand shaking them like there was no tomorrow. I was so upset, tears and all. I had finally given up on foot travel, and was going to get in the car. When I see her little nose and ear popping out of the hostas on my next door neighbors front porch. She was terrified. I scooped her up and had to calm her down. She was clinging to the plant like it was the only thing she new. I was so glad I found her! I will never - NEVER - do that again.
