May 24- No Gami sightings
May 25, 8:00am- Joe and I discuss the possibility that Gami might be lost...gone...
May 26- Silence. Nothing. Just the sound of mice crawling in our ceiling...where's Gami when you need him.
May 27- More mice
May 28- we begin our search for another cat, since I am avoiding the mouse-infested house at all costs.
May 29, 10:00am-We alert Joe's homologue, the Chief of the Village and any child that cares that Gami has now been missing for 6 days. We put out a $1 reward, 500CFA.
May 30, 3:00pm- Baba, the 82yr old Chief of the village, goes out around village looking for Gami and asking about Gami's whereabouts.
May 31, 8:00pm- over dinner, there is discussion about Gami, we pick out the words "fat cat" and "eat", could someone really have eaten him?
June 2, 10:00am- A neighbor boy seems suspicious when asked about Gami, maybe the kids shot him with a slingshot?
June 3, 1:00pm- A new kitten arrives, we got him from a neighboring village, he is the smallest thing I have ever seen. He is about as big as my hand and an inch wide. I am not exaggerating either. He won't be killing mice for awhile, but we will train him up to be fierce!!!!!!
Pictures to come...
Oh the poor kitty. Where is Skittles when we need her? We could have shipped her your way!
