ah. I forgot that they were testing the alarm system in the apartments today. Pooka was alarmed in return, and is now slowly stalking around the apartment, presumably to make sure that it hasn't been invaded by monsters. Nar, on the other hand, evaporated. oh... he just came into the office, walking *very slowly and carefully* and checking cautiously around every corner.
Nar has had pets and is now reassured, and has ascended to his usual perch on the cat tree next to my desk, from which he is blinking slowly at me. all is well. ^___^
Pooka's watching birds and seems fine too. ;)
