This little monster got out yesterday. I let him go in our screened in room because he loves to be outside. Since he broke curfew two years ago, I don't let him run freely. He broke through the screen once. My husband reinforced it and was pretty confident that he could not get out, but out he got. He disappeared all day and did not return until almost midnight. We kept seeing him around the neighborhood. He was even in our yard a few times, but would not come near us. Some people told us he might come back. Others said he would never return. He lived indoors and because of this he would have no way of knowing how to find his way home. Needless to say, he ruined our day. I always told him that if he ever went out, he could stay out and become a street cat again. I guess he did not understand. Or maybe he knew that we would always take him back.

Honestly, you should have the servants look after the cats. Now you don't need to have the nannies do it, but if the children are not raising too much of a fuss, you might as well let them earn their keep.
It's unfortunate that you teachers are out taking care of animals when you could be working. I mean, whatever happened to living in the schoolhouse and being forced to retire if you had the audacity to contemplate marriage?
I'm thankful we now have Mayor Bloomberg to enact common-sense reforms that will have children learning the meaning of an honest 7-day week's work.
It's too bad Larry doesn't see it quite the way his humans do.
