Help! I'm Lost!

I went to work in Middleboro for Gretchen today. 

When I got out of the car I heard this sorrowful call.

 It sounded like our kitten Nelle when she realises shes alone.

I looked around for awhile and decided it was a bird. So I commenced opening the shop, setting out the sandwich board and the wagons full o' flowers we put outside the gate. I put out the flags and dragged out the hose to start watering. I heard the sorry call again. I went looking again.

I saw the tail end of a tiny cat slip under the perennials.

 I spent an hour searching and calling to him. I made Shawn come from Carver to help me find and catch him. 

We weren't able to and Shawn went home.

I was guilt ridden. I worried the tiny cat got into the street or crossed the street and I'd never find him.

I didn't cry but I wanted to.

Later the guy next door came by and I mentioned it to him. He said he'd seen the tiny cat and left food out.

I felt better. I told him if he caught the cat, I would take him.

We're home now. Safe and sound.
