Pumpkin had an Adventure. The thing is, I don't know how she had it, exactly. Loki and Pumpkin were chilling on the deck, and I came in to take out the recycling. They'll behave for 2 minutes, right? Pumpkin followed me in as she usually does (and usually goes right back out.) I take the recycling down, noting as I'm shutting the door that she is about to jump on the bookcase next to the door. Take the recycling out, idly note I should shut the screen door when I do this, as mosquitos.
Come back upstairs and check on cats. Loki is still chilling, no Pumpk. Come inside, calling. No jingle (she's belled for a reason, this cat.) Proceed to flip out. Comb the house, call from the deck, peering out over it, check everywhere. Run around the basement, go out the back door, calling.
And she comes sorta slinking around the corner. She was happy to see me.
But I don't know how she got down there. She could've gotten out with me and the recycling, but I think I would have noticed. The only other option is she jumped off the deck. She's shown interest in the railings below before.
No more unsupervised deck time, not even for 2 minutes.
