Stressful Day

I am beside myself. Had a terrible 9-month review at work cause I have been trying to learn my job without much guidance. Then I come home to find a kitten missing. They let her outside, and she hasn't returned yet. Yes, they let a 6-month-old kitten outside by herself. She can get hit by a car or killed by a raccoon. I don't know how long she's been out there. I hope she returns safe and sound, meowing by the door. I put jeans outside, praying she finds her way home. I want to cry. Roommate was so passive, like, well, she wants outside so bad, and we let her. Yeah, I started letting the kittens outside into the yard recently, but I am with them the entire time. I let Goldie outside today, and she was acting fearful and going back inside and coming back out again. Which was strange behavior. I have no idea how long Rosie has been outside. I'm going on vacation in December and now might need a new pet sitter. And the other day, he lectured me about getting collars for the kittens and said some homeless people can carve out their microchips from their bodies so they need collars to show they belong to somebody. Collars can be removed by people and animals. I had 4 cats before my kittens and never had collars on them cause they rarely got out and meowed at the door hours later. Rosie escaped out of the front door once about a month ago and she came back meowing at the sliding door. Roommate was so mad he put her in a carrier. I let her out after he left cause she needed food/water not punishment. I hope Rosie is okay. My hope is that she is hanging out with the neighbor cats across the street. They let their cats run loose. PS. Rosie came back meowing at the glass sliding door around 11 PM. I was in bed so roommate let her in. She jumed on the bed to rest with me and the dogs.
