I went out three times to check on Ebony last night. The first two times there were meows. The third time there was nothing. This morning there was nothing. Here's what this all looks like:

The drain she ran under after being attacked. Pic on the right shows the spur branch, and some food I left for her.

Looking down the spur line. Is that yellow object Ebony's eye? Also, Ebony earlier this year.

The thing is I CAN'T TELL for sure. She may have left that spot during the night. The drain spur must go somewhere so she could have gone to the other end, or come out and into my yard somewhere. It's unlikely she'd come do that, or come into the house, because she knew Sam was here.

I'm taking the dogs for a walk. With them out of the yard/house there's still a chance. Maybe.
