And rightly so.
I'm the worst Mother Goddess there is.
Last night I feel asleep on the couch and woke up around 11.30. Before going to clean my teeth and hop into bed I opened the balcony door to let in some fresh air, as I always do. Closed door, went to bed.I always do a cat head count after closing the door, to make sure I left none of the critters outside, but last night, for reasons completely unknown, I didn't.
Got up this morning, gave the Critters their breakfast, prepared my tea and sat down on the couch.
Cornelius was at the balcony door, and I though, hey, what's that? His mirrored image looks nothing like... Oh! My! GOD!!!!
I'd shut Lucius out on the balcony.
The whole night.
If the temperatures weren't so spring-like right now -- the nights are well over zero -- he could've frozen to death out there.
As things were, he was just hungry and a bit insecure -- had to wander around the place for ages, looking whether everything was as it should be -- but didn't show any signs of sickness.
I don't have words to express my distress at my own stupidity and irresponsibility, and I fervently hope that he didn't catch cold. He's so very thin, and therefore he's the one that really can't afford to be sick and/or lose weight.
Keep your fingers crossed, my dears, for good old Lucy to have survived the experience with no worse consequences than bewilderment.
