This evening was pure chaos at my house. It started with my radio going off. I had to listen to see if they were calling me. That was around 7pm. Shortly after that one of my sister's called me. So there I was, trying to listen to my radio, talking on the phone, when suddenly I hear this ruckus from downstairs. I call out to Ulises to see what was going on and I hear him say, "There's a cat!" I have to admit, that I couldn't fully digest what was going on. Ulises brings Gizmo to me to hold on to and then starts searching the house.
I tried listening to the radio, talking to my sister, holding on to Gizmo, and trying to figure out what is going on for a few minutes before I finally had to tell my sister that I would call her back. Even with one less thing going on, it was still chaos. I tried to help Ulises look for the cat while still listening to my radio and holding on to Gizmo. I found the cat hidden under one of the beds where I keep Gizmo's things. I locked Gizmo into my bedroom to let Ulises chase the cat outside. Luckily, during that time I was able to stop listening to my radio. I left Gizmo in the room and heard a huge ruckus going on downstairs. The cat was literally jumping up the walls. I saw him (or her) jump higher than the front door. Finally, it ran outside and climbed one of the trees in the backyard. Ulises finally got it to jump the fence and it ran off. I felt bad for it, but it was kind of crazy.
Afterwards, I discovered it had caused a few problems. It broke my Mexican toy (I don't know what it's called), knocked things over, and who knows what other damage. It was a crazy night.
So, how did that cat get into my house? Well, someone from the Consulate was over at my house yesterday to fix some things. If my front door doesn't get dead-bolted, the wind will blow it open, even if it is locked. When I got home from work, the door was open. I didn't notice anything different, so I shut and dead-bolted the front door. That was just after 5pm. I let Gizmo out in the backyard, as I do sometimes. He loves to go out there and watch birds. Then I went around my business. Ulises arrived around 6pm and he didn't notice anything either. At around 7pm, he was headed out, and so went downstairs. That is when he saw the cat. He let Gizmo in and Gizmo freaked out. He went after the cat, but the cat was faster and got away. Gizmo doesn't like seeing other animals in his territory. Well, you know the rest of the story.
