Kittens HAVE escaped,
before Othello

Fugazi got out once, we couldn't find her all night and the next day my
DH took the day off  to find her. We were convinced the people
downstairs had left the back door open and she might have got out on a
busy road. Alas she was not a cat to answer when called especially when
asleep (when Fugazi was seriously asleep, a small nuclear device
exploding under her nose just might have done the trick!) so I've gone
to work, close to tears, thinking "she's only a baby" (She was 3). As I
reached work DH phoned me. He had gone to the back door armed with
kitty treats, stood there calling and rattling the box for an age to no
avail and as he'd turned to come back in, a little tabby head appeared
from a box in the hallway, yawned and looked at him as if to say "Now
that was a good night's sleep! And you've brought breakfast in bed,
that's good of you!"

Redunzel once got out for 5 hours. It is one of the great mysteries of
cats to me, we live in a very small one bedroom apartment, there aren't
that many places to hide and yet all of cats have managed to vanish.
We'd assumed Redunzel was in one of these strange interdimensional
spaces cats seem to have but when I opened the door- there she was
sitting on the stairs waiting to come back in.

Sarrasine is a mistress of serious hiding, I've turned the place upside
down making sure that she hasn't got out and been pretty sure she has
only to have her suddenly appear from somewhere I  just looked. The
last time, I looked around to see her sitting on the bed where I am
sure I could not have missed her, she was sitting on a white sheet and
she's a black cat but I'd looked everywhere in the bedroom and the door
was closed....Strange.....

The funniest one was a couple of weeks ago when DH was sure Sarrasine
must have escaped and without thinking he said, "I just hope she
doesn't come back pregnant".....I just couldn't stop laughing and
pointing out that for Sarrasine to get pregnant would make veterinary
history and have our vet wondering exactly what had been removed at the
time!

Slave of the Fabulous (Vanishing) Furballs

They said he was indoor only, so he may not have been able to find his was
home.  Their house is around the corner behind ours and we have an 8 foot
wooden fence - so he came around the long way and was probably just so
scared he ran inside the first place he could find that was willing to take
him in.
