und 8:45–9:00 PM IST, I placed a Swiggy order. To collect the order, I stepped outside since the delivery person was having trouble finding my exact location, even though I was sharing it with him on WhatsApp. To check which lane he was in, I went out, and in the chaos, I forgot to close the main door. During this time, my cat must have slipped outside without my knowledge. After receiving the order, I locked the main door. A little later, when I looked around at home and couldn’t find her, I went outside to search. I also asked nearby vendors (who were ironing clothes) if they had seen any cat, but no one had.
