A dear friend's beloved rescue cat bolted out an accidentally opened door after getting spooked, and though he's been seen in the neighborhood, he runs whenever anyone approaches him.
As soon as I heard this news, I asked Yi quite urgently, "Where is the cat?" Yi replied:
33.3.4.5 to 23
I know there are quite a few missing cat posts on here from time to time, and it's a hard question to interpret. But I meditated on Tobias the Hamster as I asked Yi, and had some hope for clarity.
It's one of those answers that feels, to borrow a term from horary astrology, "valid." Yi and I are having a conversation about this topic directly. But it's disheartening. I don't have much hope she will recover him. 23 seems to suggest this could be a permanent splitting away from his home, and a painfully unintentional one ("Fruitless to have a direction to go"). 33 just further suggests he's really on the run, retreating, etc. Line 3: he ran because he was scared, not because he wanted to have a great adventure or something. Has he gotten entangled/trapped in something? Does he have a new person already whom he is trying to curry favor with, or that it would be useful for him to do so ("servants"...certainly cats see us people as such, and I mean that in an endearing way). Lines 4 + 5 show him still in retreat, but perhaps making the best of it.
Thoughts, anyone? I think this reading is not particularly hopeful that he will be recovered and returned to my friend, but perhaps it shows he will muddle through decently somehow anyway (33.5).
