The chair just sat there, up against the wall. He usually sat there, but for the last two days it had been utterly empty. The cat rubbed her body up against the legs of the chair, her fur coming off onto the God-awful pink cushion. Quickly, the cat leapt from the ground and up onto the seat. She sighed softly, curling himself into a ball where her owner usually sat. The cat couldn't help but wonder, Where is he?
