"lost" kitten purrs please?

Glad she is OK. This is life as I know it with a cat. My spouse seems to believe
despite evidence to the contrary that if the cat is in the house, we can find it.
I've learned that as fast as I learn where the cat can hide for a nap, she finds
another spot.

Which is why I want the cat in the carrier at least 15 minutes before we absolutely,
positively must leave for the vet.

Is she big enough to eat solid food? In that case I would suggest you
rattle
the box with dry cat food in it, that usually got Soncek's attention
pretty
quickly. If not, then I am sending lots of best wishes for Jaylo to be
found
really soon and Soncek is purring for it, too,


I suggested that - but she'd just had her meal a short while
ago.

In that case she has probably gone somewhere to sleep it off.
Purrs for a safe return.


Found! She was indeed sleeping - she'd managed to get *behind*
the cabinet under the sink.


Now her meowmie is very very .... drained.

Little "Jaylo" the kitten is nowhere to be seen. Her meowmie
called me a short while ago in a panic because she couldn't
find the kitten and was terrified that kitty had gotten into the
washing machine when she filled it earlier. I rushed down
and unpacked the machine - no kitty (thank Bast!) but
after an hour of searching neither of us can find the kitten.
She has to be *somewhere* in the house - but it's an old
house, with hundreds of hiding places for small kittens
that grown women couldn't search. I've managed to calm
my friend down and persuaded her to sit down calmly with
a cup of tea - maybe when there aren't two big humans
tromping about yelling "here kitty!" she'll come out of her
hiding place.

oh goodness gracious. I would feel drained too.
I remember once when Jazz was just a kitty, DH and I went to Colorado for a
convention and Jazz was left in the care of my daughter who was in high
school at the time. I get a call at about 2 am at the hotel from my daughter
who is hysterically crying because she couldn't find the cat. She said she
went all over the house, down into the basement, etc.
She had the bad habit of leaving the kitchen door which open to the garage
open while she brought her school stuff in. So, I suggested she look in the
garage. Of course Jazz was there, poor thing, after having been locked out
of the house all night. Thank goodness he didn't ingest anything dangerous,
and that the garage door itself was closed when he escaped into the garage.

Fifteen minutes!!!! Hah!!!!!

When Quango RB was with us he would wander off looking bored and
sleepy about an hour and a half before a vet visit. That was it - lost.

Just when it was too late and we had phoned the vet he would reappear
looking pleased with himself.

Happy to hear the lost kitten wasn't lost at all

Great news, found before I even had a chance to get the gang here
revved up. Sending calming purrs and hugs for the very drained meowmie
instead

Happy purrs that she was found. I thought she must be sleeping somewhere so
comfortable, that she doesn't bother to come out. Doesn't sound very
comfortable, but then, what does a mere hoomin know about comfort?

That reminds me of the time I was taking the cats back home from the island
one summer. I didn't have the heart to shut them up, but trusted that they
would be sleeping inside in the afternoon, as they always do. But of course,
there were no cats to be seen when my sister's family had packed the boat
and were ready to leave. I looked high and low, but couldn't find them.
Finally I told my sister to go ahead, I would have to stay on for a few days
with the cats, and take a taxi boat then.

As the sound of the boat engine died away in the distance, both cats
casually wandered back home and settled down for a nap. But this time the
hoomin was sneaky. She shut all doors and windows, called sis on her mobile
phone and asked her if she would come back, and since they hadn't gone very
far, they did turn back and came and fetched me and two very offended and
upset cats.

Now I always shut the cats inside several hours before we are scheduled to
leave.
