Lost kitty

**catnapper** · 11-17-2003, 07:29 AM

Oh, I was so scared last night - Pouncer went missing for a while. I was running around the house looking in all his favorite spots and didn't find him. Was he outside? Not when I looked.

Everyone was sound asleep and nobody was aware my boy was missing. I was having a heart attack! Then I hear a muffled little meow. Pouncer? I turn on the hall light to look in the room (still didn't want to wake my hubby) I didn't see him, but I did hear him. I looked everywhere, but couldn't find him. No more meows... where is he!?!

Then one last MEOW! I found him in the old drysink (where we store our bath towels. ALLEN likes to sit in there, but I've never seen Pouncer in there. The doors swing freely and both guys can easily enter and exit, only last night Grant was working on some paperwork and left his bag leaning against the doors. Poor little fellow was trapped after his cozy towel nap!

He wasn't too interested in loving when he was freed - he ran to create trouble once saved!

WHEW!!! I know that LOST KITTY feeling! Glad to here he was found

Our last "lost" kitten" was found safe and content in the stuffing layer under our boxprings! He had dug a little hole and climbed inside!!

Glad Pouncer is now found and back to creating trouble!!

I'm glad that you found Pouncer, and he is able to get back to his trouble causing ways.

That lost kitty feeling is the worst.

You wonder what could have happened and I start imagining all sorts of bad things.

Once again I am glad that you found him and all is well.

Doesn't your heart just STOP when a cat goes missing?? Even when you KNOW he 's GOT to be somewhere!! Poor fellow. Glad he's safe now **WHEW**

I'm glad you found him!

I know that lost cat feeling too. Only last week, we could not find Fister in any of his usual places - I must admit, I've accidentially closed the door on him while he was on the kitchen staircase. Funny, it takes quite a while before he starts meowing. This time, he was hiding in the very back of the wardrobe.

That was close. the Original pouncer used to hide in the apartment , and i would go crazy , looking for her. Then she would suddenly appear , wondering what all the fuss was.

Ally does that too - it's like she says "Hey folks - you looking for me???"
