Prospero is Missing

This is the latest photo I have of her. Prospero never really photographed well, because she was fidgety: a quick terror with a penchant for bird-catching.

I came home after the Christmas weekend to find her absent — which was unusual, since she’s the one who sticks closest to the food bowl.

She’s been gone for four days, now. Maybe she was catnapped. Or lost a fight with the wild dogs in the SDASA school compound. Or got bitten by a snake from the empty lot opposite.

Sharon will be putting up posters. Prospero was a bitch: she stole the other two’s food, and broke vases, and murdered — and hid when she did wrong stuff, so she had a sense of guilt. But she also had the sweetest mew, and always sought a lap to sit in, and would push her head into our hovering palms, to stroke herself …

Miss her la.
