Cricket will vanish for days at a time. Just long enough for us to run through every worst-case scenario — owl, eagle, wilderness, you name it.

Then she’ll reappear in a bush meowing like she has no idea where she is… and sprint into the house to the living room where Mabel and Peach have set up base.

Mabel takes one look at her and smacks her like: don’t do that again. And then, inevitably, they’re grooming each other like nothing happened.

It’s a real family bond — more like wild cats than house cats.
