Have You Seen Master

Cosmo here again. I have waited for him to come home these past three days and nights. Master, he up and disappeared. POOF! Gone and I have no idea where he went to. I did noticed that he took that big blue box with him. I observed him placing his garments inside. 

Where could he have gone? He drove off telling me and bird he calls Elsa that he’s going to see his sister. I haven’t seen my sister since that girl took me over a year ago. The one calling himself Nicolas, has called out to me. I ignore him. I pretend to come toward him, then I feign and confuse him. Humans are so gullible! I just jumped over the neighbor’s fence and know if I meow loud enough she will come out and hand me a treat, so I won’t starve. But I hear Nicolas calling out more insistently. Maybe I should go and let him think I need to come in. 

I jumped back over the fence and sneak in like I do to Master. He always appears bewildered when I sneak in and he’s still calling for me as if he is completely oblivious of my fleet paws pouncing and bounding inside unnoticed. I do just that. It helps that it’s dark out and he appears more frustrated than normal. Once again my stealth has the human caught flat footed as I spy the food dish sitting on the countertop. I leap gracefully onto the counter and proceed to eat the kibbles in a ravenous manner. I didn’t realized how hungry I was. 

Nicolas has taken a picture of me eating. Can’t I have a moment of privacy please? I look up and glare at him. He chuckles, rubs my chin and ears just like Master does, then he leaves with me inside alone! 

“What do you mean alone? I’m here dummy.” 

I look over and spot Elsa’s presence in the dark trailer we share with Master. “Oh you, sorry I was hoping he took you and I could be done with you forever.” 

“No such luck, pal. As a matter of fact I may well outlive you and Master calling himself Jerry. I’m still a youngster compared to you two. I’m expected to live at least another thirty years. You, you will be lucky to live past eighteen. Master Jerry is already old and might live another twenty or more years.” 

“Have you seen Master?” 

“Of course not. He said before he left he was going to his sister’s. I had a sister once, but I haven’t seen her since we were chicks. Besides, he’ll be back. He always comes back after leaving for many days.” 

“Well, hopefully he’ll be back soon. I miss him.” 

“Well, he’ll show up and all will be well again.”
