Oh No! Where’d Miss Calico Go?
I haven’t seen Miss Calico since just before I went to the hotel.
For several days after my Miss Calico Moves In post, I’d see her taking an afternoon siesta on my campsite deck.
I’d also see her in my campsite each morning.
And now… gone without a trace.
Miss Calico had a secret…
One day, she strolled over for some head scratches. As I was petting her, I smiled as I felt her cute little baby bumps.
I grew up in the country. We had lots of cats who had lots of kittens. If I remember correctly, Momma cats are only prego for about 2 months. So thinking Miss Calico could have her babies at anytime is probably an accurate conclusion.
A group of campers came onto the scene…
My campsite is surrounded by 4 different cabins. Groups often rent these cabins to be near each other.
And that’s what happened.
With all the people going back and forth between cabins, cutting thru my campsite 😠, and the kids whooping and hollering, I think Miss Calico had enough.
I saw her heading between the cabins and I haven’t seen her since.
A neighbor shares an interesting tidbit…
One of my regular neighbors said Miss Calico jumped in the trunk of their car. Thankfully they saw her and got her out before a CAT-astrophe happened.
Later, they saw her jump into another neighbor’s truck as they were cleaning the interior. Neighbor 1 told neighbor 2 and possibly prevented another CAT-astrophe.
Miss Calico sure got around!
So where’d Miss Calico go?
Maybe she found a quieter place to hang out and have her babies.
Or maybe she hopped into someone else’s vehicle or rig and is traveling the country.
I can sit here and think the worst or I can sit here and hope for the best… knowing I may never know the outcome.
All I can do is hold onto the happiest outcome for Miss Calico and her babies.

Life right now…
My Whereabouts: At a campground in my Illinois hometown area. Will be here until October’ish.
Pondering: Whether I need a hobby. Then again, observing life thru my unique lens and writing about it IS kinda my hobby. Maybe I’m not as hobby-less as I think 🤔
