5pm, Tents Down, But No Daffi

The last I saw Daffi today was at about 10am. I climbed up the ladder and there she was, face to face with me, just 1 metre apart. I could not catch her as I hadn’t climbed out from the ladder onto the roof yet.

She looked at me and I quickly got down, thinking of getting her food. But by the time I got up again, she was gone.

That was the very last time I saw her today.

We replenished the food after that and put out tuna and kibble. The food was untouched at 12noon and we replenished it again.

I have been up the ladder many times since then, the food is untouched.

The tents finally came down by 2pm and I was truly looking forward to Daffodil’s return, but it’s past 5pm now and there has been no sign of her at all. I just came down from the ladder. The food is untouched.

I have also been up and down the road, calling for her, shaking the kibble container. Daffodil was nowhere to be seen.

The psychics assured me that she will come down from the roof. One said Daffodil will come down, but she doesn’t want the medication anymore. For now, she wants to explore her surroundings.

The free roamer wants to roam.

I medicated Daffodil because I thought I was doing it in her best interests. Maybe to a cat, it’s best to let Nature take its course. Maybe that’s what she wants. I didn’t know, Daffodil. I am really sorry it got your upset. But you were quite easy to pill and I didn’t know you resented it so much. And I got you the very best medication which had helped many human cancer patients. No side effects, non-toxic, not harmful. You were progressing so well and the tumour was shrinking. Your appetite was good, you were active and alert. I thought all was going well.

Early this morning, I found Ginger on Vincent’s table, looking out. I don’t know if Daffodil came back last night, to Stargate2.

Ginger was willing to eat today.

He and Tabs explored the storeroom today.

And Indy is making friends with him.

Today, I looked at all the cats who are still with me now – Cow, Bunny, Pole, Tiger, Cleo, Indy, Tabs, Ginger, Heidi, Vincent and Mr Zurik. They need love and caring. I must not forget that.

Moments are all we have. We have to make them count.

We can only do our best and leave the rest, especially things that we cannot change and those that we cannot control.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

If Daffodil comes back, rest assured I will put up a blogpost. If there are no updates, that means it’s status quo.
