1
While cat sitting for my neighbors, I let their indoor cat out the front door, and by midnight I was sure I had gotten her killed.
2
The Arnolds had left me a note on the kitchen counter written in bold letters.
3
Astrid has never been outside, and she hates it.
4
Do not open the front door without checking where she is first.
5
I read the note three times, then my delivery driver showed up with the pizza I ordered.
6
I pulled the door open without looking down, and Astrid went out between his legs,
7
like she had been waiting her whole life for that exact moment. and went after her.
8
She ran under a row of hedges along the side of the house.
9
I got down on my stomach and reached in.
10
She wasn't there.
11
I checked under the deck and behind the trash cans.
12
I knocked on a door down the block.
13
A guy in a hoodie pulled out his phone before I finished asking and showed me a video from his porch camera.
14
A coyote was walking down the street with something limp in its mouth.
15
They come through almost every night now.
16
They ate two cats on this block last month.
17
He tapped my shoulder.
18
I'd start looking now if I were you.
19
I went back to the Arnold's house as
20
I put a bowl of tuna on the back patio
21
and turned off the kitchen lights so I could watch the yard from the window.
22
Around 10, I heard a howl somewhere past the back fence, then another one answering it from a different direction.
23
Around 10 .30, I saw something move at the edge of the yard.
24
It was too big to be a cat.
25
I flipped the porch light on, and whatever it was was gone.
26
The tuna bowl was on its side and empty.
27
I refilled it and went back to the window.
28
At 11, I heard a rustle in the bushes and ran outside with a stick I had been gripping all night.
29
next to the bowl.
30
I waved the stick at it until it walked off and then somewhere down the block, a cat screamed.
31
I ran out into the street holding the stick like an idiot.
32
There was nothing there, no cat, no coyote, no movement under any of the cars.
33
I walked back to the patio and called for Astrid until my throat hurt. By 12, I was at the kitchen table writing the apology text I
34
was going to send the Arnolds telling them how Astrid might have gotten eaten by coyotes.
35
Then all of a sudden, scratching.
36
I went to the door and there was Astrid sitting on the mat looking up at me.
37
Her paws were wet from the grass.
38
She walked past me into the kitchen and went straight to her food bowl.
39
I remembered the note.
40
She has never been outside and she hates it.
41
She had spent the whole night out there hating it, hiding from things that wanted to eat her and then she had come home on her own.
42
I deleted the text, picked up the pizza box from the porch and threw it in the trash.
43
The Arnold's pulled in at nine on the dot.
44
Mrs. Arnold got out of the car and asked how the weekend had fine.
45
She handed me $80 in cash.
46
I took it and walked out.
47
Somewhere past the fence a coyote howled, and I walked faster than I needed to.
