Cat got shut in the closet for 5 hours

Going to work yesterday morning I didn't notice that one of our cats
went into the closet
when I got my coat out and I shut the door behind him trapping it
inside, when I got home
at noon I heard this very sad and scared cat cry but couldn't figure
it out for a moment where it was coming from then I noticed it was
coming from the closet. When I opened the door he
bolted out.

I guess the moral of the story is be aware of your cats movements if
they have a tendency
to want to get into a closet.

I had the same thing happen to me a few months ago. I went into my linen
closet one morning, did not shut it right away, but then did shut it before
going to work. When I came home from work that evening I could not find one
of my cats and I was going crazy trying to find him, and lo and behold, he
was sound asleep in the linen closet. Saying I felt TERRIBLE does not even
touch on how I felt. To this day, I don't shut any of my closet doors.

Bad catslave * before you leave your house you are supposed to know where

Slave is right, cats really are the owners, not the other way
around.

This has happened at my house several times. TuTu just curls up and has a
good nap. I try to remember to keep the sliding doors closed all the
way, but sometimes slip up. If I don't see her for a while, I start
checking closets and cabinets. No harm done. If a thunder storms
happens, she wants to go in the closet. MLB

Sometimes Amber sneaks into a closet. When that happens, Tiger just
sits at the door and looks at it until I let her out.
