Leia's a teetotaller, so I'm having hers for her! She seems utterly relaxed now after her excursion into the scary outside world. Onyx is no dummy, she got out of there like greased lightning with that large angry cat after her! But this does not bode well as to introducing Onyx to the household....

What I see as positive is that Onxy came straight back! She doesn't strike me as being that scared

You know, Fran, now that I think about it, Onyx must have been very nearby watching things during the whole episode while I was sitting behind the azalea bushes calling Leia, and when I finally got her and lugged her in. It was only a few minutes after that that I went out to retrieve my cigarettes and there was Onyx!

Re: Leia got out! Scary afternoon!


Whiskey, she's always acted afraid of going outdoors; that's why I never harness-trained her like my previous cats. I hope she won't do it again, but will be extra cautious in the future. I should have realized that she was heavy enough to force the storm door open! Live and learn.......

What a fright Leia must have given herself, and how scary for you too. Glad that no serious harm was done and I hope the martinis have helped calm you down.

Oh dear..

Congrats on getting her out, though! A true good owner is willing to scrape on their hands and knees to rescue their baby. C:

Awww, thanks., Darky! There was no choice, she was very scared and was not going to come out by herself....

Re: Leia got out! Scary afternoon!


Oh bless her! Glad you managed to get her back in safe and sound, and I think i'd view it as a positive too that Onyx was straight back for her tea! Cats are very clever and it wouldn't surprise me if Onyx saw Leia when she was outdoors when she (Leia) was obviously very afraid and maybe it gave her (Onyx) a wee confidence boost, to see the big baddy is really a bit of a soft scaredy cat when it comes to the outdoors!
