I'm really glad the cats are OK and sorry for your mental anguish, but
really, again, get something positive out of the situation and collar
and tag the cats. Stuff happens. When we lived in an apartment in
Chicago, one of my neighbors had her indoor cat (young, about a year)
slip out the door unnoticed when she went away for the weekend
UNCOLLARED. The little cat was smart enough to cling screaming to the
stairway, and we followed the noise and brought it into our apartment
before someone else shooed it away into the night. It lived in our
spare room for three days (where our kitten made goo-goo eyes at it
through the glass door LOL) till she finally came home and saw our
sign and came to get him in tears. If the cat had not been found or
found by someone less patient than us,
it wouldn't have gone well for the cat as there is no space in any
Chicago no-kill shelters AT ALL. With a collar, we would have known
the cat belonged to her and could have left a message on her machine.
It's just the sensible thing to do.
