The trees were cut down in front of the house, so Stitch can't communicate with his squirrel buddy. |
Stitch is home after being away for two weeks and the whole family is ecstatic. It was really a different and empty feeling not to have a cat around the house. However, Stitch has had a sad and disappointing realization.
The week before he came home, some men came by and cut all the trees down in the lot next door. These large trees are the ones that stood right outside our front window and the very trees that Stitch’s squirrel friend would come and chatter at him from. The good news is that his squirrel friend has relocated to another tree that stands in another lot behind our home. We’ve watched him scampering across the empty lot and jumping into its branches. I was worried he would be homeless, so it is reassuring to know that he still has a home.
But no trees mean that Stitch and his squirrel friend have no way to see each other and communicate. Stitch has been sitting in the front window sill looking outside the past couple of days. He, too, has seen his squirrel friend scampering across the empty lot and has followed him from window to window with his calls of “Me-ahahah. Me-ahahah.” But being up so high on the second story douses any plans of a possible reunion for the two. Poor Stitch.
