I just really do think that Bali is no longer with us. Jazzy seems to be
very peaceful about the whole thing. I think she needed the closure before
she could come back home. If Bali was indeed stuck and suffering, of course
that would be horrible but... She would have had to had been stuck in some
area that we simply could not get to. Although she was running very fast on
that first night when she got out the window, the vet said she may indeed
have been injured then. She said an injury by a raccoon (if in fact that is
what it was) can be quite serious and she may well have been just running in
fright.

Oddly enough, Jazzy did not seem to be afraid of the very window she was
snatched out of but she was very afraid when I opened the front door. I did
open the kitchen door to get a breeze in. It is well pet proofed unless
something wants to jump up very high. The former owners took some kind of
crappy old storm door and modified it. The screen is in the top portion and
that has been repaired. The lower where the glass would normally be, is
some sort of metal grill thing. And over that is Plexiglas screwed on, on
either side. Other than that I don't dare open anything more than maybe an
inch if that. So it is a tad warm in here. We may suffer this weekend
because it will be hotter then. Handyman can't come till Tues. to put the
stuff on the windows for protection.
