conv: I found my cat the other day. She had been missing for 3 days. I found her on the side of the road_comma_ guts in the gutter My cat went missing 3 days ago. I found her.  That must have been a little bit of a roller coaster. That's kind of why I'm not wild about cats_comma_ is because they're so independent_comma_ and the outside cats can just go hang out somewhere for days and not have a care in the world about you. But I guess that suits some people. I found her on the side of the street with her guts hanging in the gutter. I was so upset and sad Oh man.. so that was REALLY a roller coaster then. I'm so sorry.. I hope you're not overwhelming yourself with guilt about it. It sounds like something you could not have any control over.
