Penumbra's been MIA for three days. :( I think he's moved on.

I feel guilty, but less guilty than when Umbra went missing, 'cause Penny left all on his own. The cats (except maybe Arthur and Shemp) have made it quite clear that they appreciate our Our Cats Who Live Here offer but politely decline.

Still, I already miss the little dude and was not done doting on him. I really hope he shows back up. There's absolutely no way we can take care of seven frickin' cats as if they were Our Cats forever (in cat lifespan terms), but... I was really hoping everybody would just kinda stick around.

If anything bad happened to him, I never ever ever wanna know. I am gonna comfort myself with how much he was already taking after his prodigal hero brother Umbra, who turned out to have suffered mildly, for all of 8 hours, before hitting the semiferal jackpot...

Vaya con Bast, little amigo. Please visit real soon, 'cause I WILL fret over you.
