Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / March 2005cat survives 40 days in a dresser
http://www.kentucky.com/mld/kentucky/news/local/11078102.htm This is unbelievable. The cat crawled into a dresser as his family was getting ready to move from Hawaii to Kentucky, and was discovered when the furniture finally arrived at the new home more than a month later. -- Liz > The cat crawled into a dresser as his family was > getting ready to move from Hawaii to Kentucky, Yes, moving from Hawaii to Kentucky certainly is unbelievable. ::: ducking :::  Signaturehttp://www.slywy.com/pages/hodge.html It's totally beside the point, but my main thought is--why in the world would anyone leave Hawaii? Man, if I had the money to live there I'd NEVER consider leaving, not for any reason, period. Maybe that's why the cat hit, it didn't want to leave either (heehee). Good thing it's okay, I imagine seeing it as skin/bones was hurtful to see. LRH > It's totally beside the point, but my main thought is--why in the > world would anyone leave Hawaii? Man, if I had the money > to live there I'd NEVER consider leaving, not for any reason, > period. Not to get too far off subject, but it's really not the dream-land it appears to be. I have an X that grew up there. If you're white, you're the minority, and outside the tourist areas you're treated as such. Children had to be sent to private school, as they wouldn't make it home in one piece each day at public school. He absolutely hated it there. His parents have talked about moving as soon as they can find work elsewhere, but currently have a job that's too good to leave. ObCat: I did visit his parent's place in Hawaii once, and they had an adorable little cat that loved to be petted, but when he'd had enough petting he took a huge chunk out of your hand with his teeth, quite unexpectedly. He'd purr right up until about half a second before the bite. I can't believe she didn't check the f*ckin' drawer herself instead of "asking the mover". Sheesh. > http://www.kentucky.com/mld/kentucky/news/local/11078102.htm > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > -- > Liz Yeah that is pretty surprising. Even more surprising is that the cat survived 40 days without food or water. I thought drawers once taped up would be air tight as well. SignatureCat Galaxy: All Cats!

This must be fake, or they are leaving info out.

SignatureBrandy??Alexandre? http://www.swydm.com/?refer=BrandyAlx Well, would you? Did you even read the story Brandy? According to the story the went out looking for the cat before they moved.

Sheesh. That was my first thought, too. She knew it was the cat's favorite hiding place so she should have made sure herself. Otto loves to hide in my armoire if he gets the chance. A couple of months after I first got him, he had jumped in one morning. I checked it before I closed the doors and didn't see him. When I got home that night I heard a faint meowing, and of course he was in the armoire. I felt so awful. He also got locked in a closet a few times early on. Now, before I leave for work each morning I make sure I can se both cats. -- Liz Oooh, that can be so scary. We've shut a cat in a room for a day, I felt so bad. Now when we leave for any extended amount of time, we do a nose count. Rhonda > Now, before I leave for work each morning I > make sure I can se both cats. > > -- > Liz > Oooh, that can be so scary. We've shut a cat in a room for a day, I felt so > bad. Yeah. There are several rooms and closets off-limits to Oscar, so of course she desperately wants in to all of them, and then instantly hides when she's in, knowing she's not supposed to be there. I've accidentally locked her into our walk-in closet and one other room a few times. Poor girl! She's never had an accident, though. The worst that's ever happened is when we had Eros and he got stuck in a room. As I reconstruct events, he discovered that by chewing on a Camelbak mouthpiece, he could squirt water all over the room; his own little fountain. Well, if the worst that ever happened is a big puddle and a destroyed (replaceable and cheap) mouthpiece, that's not so bad.

Me as well in fact Redunzel and me have a little ritual connected with it. Basically the last thing I do before I leave the house is feed the cats now Redunzel has long since learnt to wait for Sarrasine to finish so she comes with me to the front door (after I've made sure Sarrasine is eating- this is a certainty by the way but I still have a look) and I let her out- our flat is in a late 1800's house converted into flats and we have the middle flat so our front door does not lead out onto the street. Redunzel then does her routine patrol for the dreaded landing greeblings then I pick her up and we have 5 minutes quality time for cuddles etc etc just the two of us before I put her back in the flat and she goes and gets breakfast.
