Mochi Dupe

A few days ago, we lost Mochi again. I duno who but somebody didn’t fully latch the gate. I was already lying on the bed, swiping hp when Daddy Lim called for me. He said that he cannot find Mochi in the house, the gate was opened and Mochi probably escaped again. 

We started Mochi Rescue Mission. IG reel said that cats have the tendency to climb upwards if one ever escaped from home. Armed with a pack of his snacks, I headed onto the 20th floor, rattling the snack bag and calling for him. So many of the neighbours had things stored in the corridor and were perfect hiding spots for Mochi. Zzzz. 

Daddy Lim and ah yee went downstairs. By the time, I was at the highest 25th floor, I still had no sight of Mochi, and was thinking what should we do if we really lose him. I was just about to backtrack with the rattling again when Daddy Lim came out of the lift and said that they had found Mochi. He was on the 18th floor, trying to head to the unit right below us. IG bluff people.

Does Mochi recognise our house? I don’t think so. I even doubt if he recognises us. Daddy Lim said that when they approached him, he was shying away and then grabbed the neighbour’s gate when they attempted to bring him home. Silly cat. 

Yday morning was even funnier. I was about to get out of the house with my bike for my morning ride. I am always very careful when exiting the house, looking several times to make sure that Mochi doesn’t escape. I did the same and opened the door. Just when I was sure that Mochi was somewhere in the house, I opened the door and saw Mochi looking at me from outside the house!!???

It took me a second. Hey, that was not Mochi but the stray downstairs that looks like him. We call him Mochi Dupe. 

This is Michi, looks the alike right? 

Mochi Dupe was meowing away and Mochi was drawn to the gate. I had 2 cats, one inside and one outside checking out each other out and I was stuck in the house. Lol. I had to wake Daddy Lim to help me, to make sure that Mochi doesn’t escape and Mochi Dupe didn’t try to enter the house. Yes, all at 5.20am. 

Nope, Mochi Dupe didn’t try to come in. He was still in the corridor when I entered the lift. I have no idea how he got to the 19th floor. Morning exercise? The lift? This is the 2nd time that I saw Mochi Dupe on the 19th floor. The last, he was on his way to the 20th floor. He is the normal cat that climbs upwards, not like our Mochi.

Mochi ah, Mochi, pls stop escaping. 你又不认识路，又不会回家. If we lose you, we will just bring Mochi Dupe home. Same, same.
