I thought I had latched the back screen door shut tight. I did not. I thought all three of my fur boys were safe inside for the night. They were not. Leo slupped out the back door, over the fence and was gone. I knew instantly, as I’ve known the two other times when he disappeared, that he was gone.

Leo had been back for 26 days.

Yesterday, the day he exited in the dark.
