Parting Ways

It’s been awhile. I have been busy, and attending last week’s Youth Technical Training (YTT).
Before I get to that in the next post, I am distressed to report that Meowri has left me. A couple of weekends ago, I went to Jinja for two nights, staying with about 30 PCVs in dorms next to the Nile River. I had left my barred window open to allow Meowri to come and go. When I returned Sunday, I was disturbed to see the window had been closed and the food I left inside was not eaten. The neighbors claimed they fed him, but in any event, he was gone. I wasn’t too concerned because cats usually come back after a few days. However, after three days home, I needed to take care of some business in Kampala, come back one night, and then attend YTT in Jinja for a week. When I returned Saturday, the neighbor kids lead me to the body of a decomposing cat in a small nearby forest. Not Meowri (whew), but “ Meowri’s friend”, they said.
On Sunday I was finally able to talk to a girl at her nearby compound, where the kids claimed Meowri was. She said indeed Meowri is staying there. This is a four unit compound behind very high walls. Only one unit is finished, however, and like everywhere else in Uganda, the other three are just shells of bricks. She borrowed my flashlight and took my basket, scampering up into the rafters and disappeared. No way was I going to attempt that high wire act. We both called, but Meowri did not come. (Cats are like that). So I have nothing definitive. I left my basket with her. A lady entered as i was leaving and said there were a number of cats that lived there. Maybe Meowri prefers this company to mine. But I want to take him home and give him a choice. I also want to see if he’s been hurt at all. The family in the compound is often not there.
