Whoops. Became an 'evil' cat meowmy today

[AmberLee]

The rain was coming down pretty hard when I got home from errands this afternoon, so I hustled in quickly. I yelled out to the furkids that I had "Treats! Treats! Kitty treats in the kitchen!!!" It was no surprise that Livvy beat me to the kitchen, but it was a HUGE surprise that Cassy didn't beat us both! As she chomped her treats, I ran about putting the rest of the stuff away. Goldielocks, our new porch kitty, was having a yelling fit on the front porch. I went out to see if he was okay and discovered that I'd accidently shut my Cassy in the tiny space between the screen door and the front door! HE was yelling, not Goldielocks. Poor boy. Oh my! I had NO clue he was there. Actually, I didn't think there was enough room for him to fit in there. I feel like such a failure as a Meowmy!!!

I hope your furry treasures are all safe today.

I did that once w/my meezer Coco Puff except he didn't yell. He just sat there like a "kittiot" so it was quite a while before I realized he was missing. I began to panic when I couldn't find him and I opened the door because I thought he couldn't possibly have gotten out and there he was sitting there patiently. I guess he was watching the world go by through the storm door glass. He was fine and I'm glad Cassy is, too.

Poor baby! What an ordeal, being separated from the treats!
Loved seeing your beautiful face on the PT calendar, Cassie.

NO, ITS JUST THAT WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO DO 6 THINGS AT ONCE AND CASSY DOES SOMETHING THAT YOU DONT EXPECT HIM TO DO, THEN THESE LITTLE ACCIDENTS CAN HAPPEN!!!
I HAVE ALMOST LET A FOUND CAT OUT AS I HAVE NOT NOTICED THAT THEY HAVE RUN ONTO THE ENCLOSED PORCH, AND THEY ALMOST RUN OUT THE OPEN DOOR

[Randi]

Cassy, that's outrageous! LOL! How could your mom shut you out there while Livvy was chomping down treats - hers AND yours! I hope you got your share once you were inside. At least you didn't get wet, did you?

It happened here too one time, I had shut Fister out on the staircase, and hours later I was wondering why he wasn't around, so I looked everywhere, until I finally heard a pitiful miaw. He just sat there on the doormat.

[Taz_Zoee]

Awww poor Cassy. Taz feels your pain. The other night I got home and Bruce said he would have fed Taz but he couldn't find him. WHAT!?!? I went into panic mode. But he wanted me to fix the salad for dinner. So while I rushed through that I thought of the places to look for him. But Bruce already began looking and found him shut in the coat closet. He said it'd been about 5 hours since he'd got his coat out to run errands earlier.
Taz must have been comfy in there because neither of us heard him meow or anything while we were calling out his name. He probably thought - ahhhhh, a break from the rest of the furry critters.
That is not the first time he's been shut up somewhere. He's been out in the garage almost all night and in the spare bedroom all night too. Not to mention his little escapade under the house for a few hours.
So you're not an evil meowmy at all. Cassy is just wanted a little excitement for the day.

[Fuzzybuns]

Aw, sorry but I was laughing, not because it happened but because mine could never get caught in there. Trust me, it's not because I'm all that wonderful either, it's because they have a built on safety mechanism, they're lard butts (lovingly) and the door would pop right back open leaving me to wonder why!

I think you've more than made up for it, you aired a public apology and gave treats and love accordingly.

[orangemm]

No way you are an "evil" cat mommy. Never happen. It's just that they are so FAST! Archy always tries to slip out into the garage (why, I don't know, it's cold and dark) and I have caught him many times sneaking out the door. But there have been lots of times he got right by me and I've had to round him up later.

At least Cassy was someplace safe and decided to make his voice heard!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Awwwww dear Cassy, do not blame your meowmie, she didn't do that on purpose...!! She is even more chocked than you ; so go and jump on her lap and give her a big warm cuddle, with a kissie on her nose!! I bet she will that

[funny felines]

lol I almost did that once, but he let me know in time. what I do from time to time, is step on a paw or a tail, then there is a screech!! and then I try to comfort the cat and apoligize, but the cat usually will hear none of it, he or she runs away with me after it saying oh I'm sorry...( cats name)... come here sweetie, it was an accident, etc etc. usually after a few minutes I can coax the cat back to me and I pick him or her up and talk to and pet the kitty and gently rub the paw or tail, whichever was stepped on. I am usually pretty careful but sometimes one of the many will get under my feet quicker than I can move away!

... discovered that I'd accidently shut my Cassy in the tiny space
between the screen door and the front door!

... Bruce said he would have fed Taz but he couldn't find him. WHAT!?!?

... found him shut in the coat closet.

Taz must have been comfy in there because neither of us heard him
meow or anything while we were calling out his name.

I hate to think of HOW Many times First Kat Fred and Boots da Kat managed
to get "lost" in the Ranch ... and they NEVER seemed to learn from the experiences!

* Fred climbed up a ladder and got "lost" in the attic insulation, then crawled out
over the front porch ceiling.
("Lost" for several hours; "tracked" through the insulation; "recovered" with difficulty -
and "repeated" the Dumm Stunt the next weekend!)

* Fred spent a day in the dresser with my warm from the dryer undies -
"saved" by an inquiring First Shepherd Casey ... "Hey Dad - why's the dresser *Meowin*??"

* Both Fred & Boots managed to:
** Fall into the toilet as kittens
** Fall into the FILLED top-loading clothes washer
** Take a "ride" in the clothes dryer

They both insisted on exploring any area that was normally closed off with a door -
* kitchen cabinets
* closets
* entertainment center
* basement
* favorite = bathroom closet (storage area for the Kitty Krunch tub)

The Big Rub was neither one of 'em would "answer" with a "Meow" when
lost and and quite able to hear the Hoomin calling their name!

They both spent MANY days behind closed doors when the Hoomin went
to work and didn't know they were "missing".

And the Goofie MUTTS have pulled a few similar Dumm Stunts!
(And THEY can't remember to *BARK* when they hear their names, either! )
