missing friends

deird1Elf is horribly upset and bewildered. Smudge is... missing. And I don't even care.
He's spent the last half hour circling the house, meowing plaintively in the hopes that Smudge will suddenly appear from wherever he's hiding, and the world will be back to normal again. (Elf's mummy, meanwhile, is heartlessly trying to pat him, and completely ignoring the fact that Smudge is GONE.)
He wouldn't eat dinner. For some strange reason, I totally failed to put any bikkies in Smudge's bowl, and Elf can't start eating until Smudge can come and eat with him...
His whole kitty world is topsy-turvy and wrong. And he doesn't know why.
(No, Smudge has not entered the ninth dimension. He has moved a grand total of eight houses away, withnimthiriel. It's just rather tricky to explain that to someone who only speaks Cat.)

*hugs* to Elf. I hope he'll be okay soon. I can see why he'd be upset though...how long was Smudge there? He probably can't remember a time without him!
Our girl piggies, meh, their friends come and gom they adjust surprisingly well...I think they looked for Boris for a few days after he died, and now are all normal.
The boys though...take his little brother away, and poor Kimba squeaks his heart out and runs around in confused circles not knowing what to do, until he comes back. Then he has to stick close and not let him disappear again. And sit close to me, just in case. I've never seen the like. :-)
