I just got a lovely rep "You deserved it, should have kept your cat indoors" from my post about my cat that escaped during a move to a new house. This was an indoor cat as are all of my cats. What an a**hat!!!
Two weeks ago, Bertha, our nine-year-old grey tabby disappeared. We searched for her for a couple of days. We were frantic. We looked in all the rooms from cellar to attic, calling her...no luck. I walked around the property, thinking she had gone outside (she does, on occasion when it's warm, to sun herself in the carport), but it was cold and snowy.
Then DH was doing some work in our enclosed porch and heard some noise on one of the top wall cabinets, right below the ceiling. And he found Bertha's new napping spot. She'd been up there all that time - obviously getting down to eat, etc., without our seeing her. She likes "out of the way" places, but this was off the radar. She tends to hide where the "kittens" (the three we adopted two years ago) can't find her, because they pest her to no end. We were just so relieved she turned up.
Once we couldn't find her all day, and turns out she'd been sleeping in the attic. DH had folded up the ladder and closed the trap door without realizing she was up there. Luckily we heard her meow.
Sometimes cats can get lost in the house, too, but it isn't any less frightening.
