Dialogue:

W: Lenny, I'm not sure how to say this, but here it goes: I lost your cat this morning.

M: What?!

W: I'm sorry. I don't know how it happened. She was in her usual place under the bed. When I opened the front door to get the morning paper, I saw her run past me really quickly. I tried to close the door in time, but she must have gotten out.

M: Diane, she's a house cat. She's not supposed to go outside, ever! She could get lost and never find her way back. Or worse, she could get hit by a car!

W: I feel like a terrible roommate, Lenny. I wish there were something I could do to fix this.

M: Wait... You've looked everywhere for her?

W: Yes... under the sofa, in the dirty clothes, behind the bookcase...

M: Did you check back under the bed where she was?

W: Hmm, I guess I didn't think to look there. I just assumed that she had...

M: Look who I found!

W: Oh, my! I can't believe it! I thought she had gone out of the front door, but I guess I didn't actually see her make it outside.

M: Sometimes she starts to head out there, but she changes her mind at the last second. Then she just goes back to her safe place! The outside world can be a scary place for her!
