Margeaux the clockwork cat wasn't at the back door last night to escort Mom to the barn. Very odd, since being spayed Margeaux has only missed the escort twice due to time change. Mom wasn't to worried as she knew that when letting the dogs out last thing that Margeaux would be waiting there. She'ds have to escort Margeaux to the barn in the cold but,, was OK with that. But, Margeaux wasn't waiting in her usual kitchen window sill waiting seat!!! Mom was worried then, she walked around the yard a bit calling quietly, Margeaux still didn't come. Being in jammies and in the 20's Mom just prayed that Margeaux was OK and holed up somewhere warm.
Enter morning, Margeaux wasn't there still when the dogs went out to water the yard before breakfast. Mom fed the house dogs, then headed for the barn, figuring Margeaux would meet her on the way. Nope, no Margeaux! Maizee didn't go right to breakfast but, stood looking out the barn door a bit first. Onyx didn't eat at all just headed out into the paddock. I of course know you need a full belly to properly worry so tucked into my breakfast.
Mom assured us she'd find our Margeaux, she checked Dads shed, the trailer, was headed to the road...passed her truck, opened the truck door AND.....Out popped Margeaux! Yup she'd highjacked the truck! Luckily Mom has the back seat covered with old horse blankets so Margeaux cozied up in them overnight. Hopefully this is the last time Margeaux attempts a vehicle hijacking at least without keys!

I bet mom was really scared. If Mama Boots isn't right there at her usual times I get worried because we have coyotes that take advantage of barn kitties.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it was just a truck hijacking! Next time, maybe Margeaux ought to take the keys with her!
Told Mom that she should leave a spare set so at least Margeaux could turn the heat on?
DeleteCoyotes and cars worry Mom with barn kitties big time.
How scary. Glad she had lots of blankets to snuggle up with.
ReplyDeleteUs too, good thing Mom covered the back seat with em.
DeleteMargeaux is a beautiful girl! I'm glad you found her!
ReplyDeleteShe didn't learn a lesson though. Dad was changing the oil in his truck. Guess who hopped right in!
DeleteAlls well that ends well!
ReplyDeleteTrue and at least we know make sure any visitors check their vehicles before they leave. With Christmas upon us though, I do worry she'll take a ride on a FedX or UPS delivery truck though!
