we let piglet run about outside the new apartment for the first time this morning. we don’t have a new tag for her yet, so amanda just whipped one up for her with paper and packing tape. we left the window open that leads to the rear of the parking lot; she had been jumping up to it since we’ve moved in to look about at the world. she zipped out immediately, but then became and freaked out and paranoid. of course, she immediately vanished before amanda and i could make it outside.
as we were packing up the car to leave, we noticed that there are four other cats in the apartments above us (we are in the basement)! there are two in each one, and all were looking balefully down at us. maybe that’s why piglet was so freaked out. none of them had collars, so perhaps they are all indoor cats, although the apartments seem very small for two.
piglet reappeared and made a beeline for the open window. we closed it behind her… she can have more adventures tonight when we return.
