I was cooking dinner, and realised suddenly that Max was absent. I looked outside, not on the corridor. Not at the garden. Not under the beds either. I panicked, and alerted sister. She looked under the beds just to be sure, then we ran out of the house.

I searched downstairs, but there was no sign of Max. Only Hat appeared. Sister went up to the 3rd floor, and before long, appeared with a struggling Max.

We both gave him a good talking-to, while he blinked and flattened his ears. Later he sulked next to the dinner table, and went to sleep outside at the corridor.

He recovered somewhat after the nap.

Maybe the weather is too warm. He doesn't want to play at all.
