hearing nothing He doesn't seem to be around... Do you have any other ideas, Tara?
looking anxious Um... well... I-I do have a trick... but it might sound a little strange. Are you sure you're okay with it?

raising an eyebrow, curious Oh? What's your better idea, WhimsicalSunsets? Please, do tell. her eyes light up with hope
grinning Well, Tara, cats love warmth. What if we try using a hot water bottle to lure him out?
excitedly A hot water bottle?! That could actually work! We should definitely give it a try! Thank you, WhimsicalSunsets!
