Missing Cat Causes a Scare 

By Nate Feldman, Staff Writer

Sara and Sofia Feldman received the scare of their life Monday afternoon when they discovered that their mother’s cat, Jenna, was missing from her apartment.

They were having an indoor picnic with their father because Sofia had a slight fever when they realized the cat was not there.  They looked under their mother’s bed and every piece of furniture, but she was nowhere to be found.

Their father conducted an in-depth search of their mother’s apartment complex, but he couldn’t find a trace of the cat anywhere.  “I looked under every tree, in every bush, and even walked into an open apartment’s door to find that cat.  She was nowhere.”

The girls were initially frightened about the prospect of losing their cat.  “I was very sad,” Sara said reflecting on the events of that day.  “I thought it would be the last day I would ever see Jenna.”

“I thought she had died,” said Sofia, assuming the worst.  

Jenna remained missing until the early evening when a thunderstorm with torrential rainfall came through the area.  Their mother’s boyfriend noticed a white spot in a bush next to their apartment and when he went to check it out, he discovered that Jenna had returned home due to the storm.  

The girls were so happy about the return of their furry friend that they could not hold back their emotions.  

“I could barely speak,” said Sara.  

With a happy ending to the day’s excitement, there were many lessons to be learned.  Their mother realized she had left a window in her bedroom open while cleaning up her place.  This made everyone realize they had to watch things more carefully in the future.

“I will guard the windows while Mommy washes things,” Sara said, hoping not to lose her cat again.
