You have my deepest sympathy. As luck would have it I recently post an instructional video by Simon's Cat on vet trips. I know you're experienced at this, but maybe you can pick up a few pointers from it anyway. It's on page 134 of the Cat Video thread. Good luck my friend.
Well, only 2 of my cats went to the vet today. Elvira (AKA Little Miss Mischief) was no where to be found. We looked for about a half hour and left without her. I'm sure she was watching us laughing at us. The vet said that happens frequently. We have been home for about an hour and I still haven't seen her. I just hope she didn't out-because she has done that before.
Oh, and the other two had a clean bill of health-but the doc said that Electra MAY have some issues coming (she is 17) but for now, she is doing good.
After being home from the vet for several hours, I STILL hadn't seen Elvira. I was thinking that maybe she had gotten out AGAIN, and I started to get worried. I opened the back door and called for her. I closed the door, turned around and there she was, "You called?" I REALLY need to find out where her hidey hole is.

Don't even bother. I lived in a one bedroom apartment and was looking for Gypsy's leopard rat catnip toy. (It's not a rat, just a leopard print "thing.") How many places can you look in such a small place, and with half my possessions in storage? I looked until I was near tears and had to give up. The next day I walk in and there she is, munching on the leopard rat.

Cat
Now there you go. That's a good example of my (soon to be patented) method of *finding your cat.
*Spend an considerable amount of time looking literally everywhere for kitty. Even check those impossibly small spaces that you know kitty would never fit in. Repeatedly call kitty's name, with ever increasing worry & panic emphasizing your distress. When you have looked everywhere you can think of, repeat the whole process all over again just in case you missed a place. At the point where you have not yet found kitty, and also realize that you're out of medication to help you through this crisis.... do the following: Go back to the original point where you started hours before, and call out kitty's name in a normal tone of voice. Wait 11 seconds, then turn around and look down. Your cat will be sitting there looking up at you with half-open eyes of mild annoyance that the hide and seek game is over. Kitty will probably want a treat for defeating you once again.
Oh, and good luck with the 'find her hidey-hole' thing.
You can't find her because she's using another cat superpower to momentarily step into an alternate dimension. Scientists are not sure but they think it is the same dimension where lost articles disappear to which are then found later in some random place. Most probably the cats there are playing with people's lost things

Never thought of it but I believe you're right.
