I believe that she went out the front door because Ron wants to go outside really bad. He never begs to go outside and he's been scratching at the front door all day. I know she's hiding in a bush somewhere. We looked all around our house and the neighbor's houses. I'm don't normally allow Ron outside, but I just let him out right now. Hopefully he'll find her.

She's made it outside a few times before, and Ron has had to escort her back in. She's frozen stiff unless Ron's by her side. (And even then, she's still terrified.) I'm keeping my eye on Ron, and he's just sniffing around right now. When he shows some special interest, I'll go look to see if he found her. I just have to call out the magic word, "Food!" to get him back in. I get especially worried because we have a rat problem in our area, there is rat poison everywhere.
