obsession with the cat

My host mom is completely obsessed with her cat. I pretty much live in BFE, away from all the public transportation. Therefore, the one bus that actually comes by stops running around 8 pm. Since I walk the last few stops home, I saw my host mom walking the dog last night. Of course, I never receive a normal greeting. It went something like this... "Hi Karen. The cat is gone. Where is it?"

I'm pretty sure I had left the house at 7 that morning and didn't get back until 11 at night. But then again, she's pretty sure that I, at all times, know where the cat is. Only three more days of this craziness...
