Has anybody seen my cat? She may have run away under the cover of night with her ability to turn walls into doorways. She sees in black and white only, moves with grace inside gray areas and avoids round, bright, and colorful objects. She doesn’t really see colors which makes her avoid the outdoors, preferring our dull, gray apartment instead. I am fearful she will be blinded by the sun when it rises, casting shadows she may blend into and be trampled under foot. If you see my cat do not look her in the eyes, she will find a way to avoid being captured. There is also a chance she will find her way back home so I must remain here, where each wall is plain white, and wait. I hope soon she will walk through the front door again and into the gray.
