The afternoon my cat Moji went missing in the soi

Moji is a mixed-breed cat, about two years old, with one white paw and a serious opinion about the balcony. Last month he slipped out when the delivery man opened our gate in Sukhumvit, and for two hours I could not find him. I walked the soi calling his name, feeling silly and worried at the same time.

Then a neighbor came out of her shop and told me she had seen a grey and white cat sitting very calmly on the roof of a parked motorbike. It was Moji, of course, looking extremely pleased with himself. He had climbed up there to watch the street vendors, and he only came down when I offered him a piece of grilled chicken.

I have since bought a new gate latch and a small bell for his collar. He wears the bell with dignity, although he does glare at me every time it rings.
