Missing My'at

This morning, I brushed Gizmo. She has collected quite a bit of fur. I would not think of Fall as the time a cat would shed. Maybe, she is a weird cat.

My'at collects three brushes of fur for every one on Gizmo. She's not on her usual perch. Where is My'at? It would be a good time to brush her. She will come down if she wants to be brushed.

I vacuum the living room. Gizmo jumps away. I vacuum the stairs. Gizmo, who had relocated to the quieter area, jumps away again. I think to myself, Gizmo has been visiting me quite a bit lately. She shows up on my bed in the morning. I see her on both perches. When was the last time I saw My'at? A week ago? Has she gone missing?

Last time I heard of My'at was when Monica was annoyed with her for stalking Beau and Gizmo on the stairs. Just how annoyed was she? We seem to be going through plenty of cat food. Monica wouldn't give away My'at and some cat food, would she? The house does seem cleaner. Surely, Monica would tell me?

I vacuum the TV room. A previously hidden cat jumps away. The mystery is solved.
