OLIVER HAS BEEN FOUND!!! WAS: Oliver is missing
My little boy has been found! I am so happy!! Thank you for all the purrs!
My sister-in-law and her family were here visiting for the weekend and picking up some furniture that we were giving them. My husband and brother-in-law had moved our buffet so they could move out a large sofa. Oliver must have been exploring behind the buffet and when the boys moved it back they trapped him under it. There is a very small spot under there that we had no idea existed. Steve and our dog Boone had gone out to see if they could find him one more time and I was sitting in the dining room when I thought I heard his faint cries. I looked every where and just couldn't tell if the cries were real or I was imagining them. After I heard them again I finally decided he had been trapped in the wall some how. I was just thinking about getting a hammer and doing some dry wall removal when I heard him meow very plaintively (I swear that it sounded like Ooouuttt)and I saw the tip of one paw wave at me. The space under there is so small he couldn't stand up and was trapped flat. He was under there for 7 hours. My husband and brother-in-law feel both elated and awful at the same time. Oliver seems no worse for wear and Meowmie needs a drink! Thanks again for all the purrs. They worked! -- Margaret Fine |

Oliver seems no worse for wear and Meowmie needs a drink! Thanks again for all the purrs. They worked! Glad he's free, and not lost after all. I was too late signing on to offer any purrs from the gang here. When I saw the first message I scrolled down and found the found message - wish all lost posts had such happy, and quick, endings. Anyway, glad to hear he was found and freed, and calming purrs for the worried family who spent so much time in frantic search. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |

Jazz & his mama He is getting all he can handle!! Funny thing is that he is very nonchalant about the whole thing and has gone back under there when my husband pulled the buffet out to make sure Oliver didn't soil under there. Silly boy! I am just so happy that he is safe! Thanks again!! -- Margaret Fine |

Don't beat yourself up over it...I shut a cat in a drawer for hours once. Now if it had been my Frank he would have been yelling his head off. Happy scritches for Oliver. Sherry |

Weeble does that too! Only it's the bedroom closet, and he goes to the
other side and waits for us to open that door & get him out! -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!
