So last night I was trying to round up all 4 of our cats because we keep them inside at night. Two of them rarely leave the yard, the other two are wanderers so we got them trackers for their collars which helps us pinpoint them if they are within 400 feet. Well I had 3 of them in the house and went out with the tracker to try and find the other one. I walked a ways and finally got a low signal on her so she was somewhat nearby but couldn't locate her so I went back into the house and told my husband that I had an idea where she was but she wasn't coming. He's oblivious to all of this because he's playing his video game. I'M the one who has to round them up every night because he's so damn nonchalant about everything and has the "Oh they'll come in when they are ready" attitude about it even though we have had 2 other cats go missing in a 6 month period.

So anyways I tell him that I can't pinpoint her and he goes "Did you call her name? Oh you probably didn't because you're too embarrassed". That really upset me. Yes, you are right I'm embarrassed walking down the street yelling her name and nearly 10PM! And I never like to draw attention to myself. I say to him "Well I don't have a big mouth like you do" which was kind of a jab to him on my part because he made me feel crappy but I don't think he got it. He goes "It doesn't matter! They know our voices." I was pissed and went out again with my tracker and finally found her. He didn't move the entire time to help me or go yelling for her himself even though he has no problem going out at midnight and yelling her name, waking up the neighbors. I wanted to go to bed so I wanted them inside and if I left it for him to do, he most likely wouldn't have done it or tried for about 30 seconds and then said "Well I guess we'll just let them go in and out as they please tonight."
