Remember Lola?
Runs off right after I spend a few hundred dollars getting her fixed and vaccinated only to show up five days later after a serendipitious chain of events?

At this point I'm thouroughly convinced one or both of them were dead in a ditch somewhere. So, I'm ashamed to say, it was a relief to find out it was (only) my (favorite) cat.
Upon discussing the situation at dinner:
Me: Was it me? Did I do something wrong?

Me: She was suicidal. She crossed that road every chance she could.
The Geek: She was bi-polar, that's what she was. Running off a month ago, flirting with disaster with that street....
Me: I just yelled at her this morning for eating half a chicken breast (it was thawing on the counter. She nommed right through the packaging.)
The Geek: So it WAS your fault.... ->
