Someone I know had some painters come and his kitty hid behind the washer and couldn't get out. He never found her until it was wayyyy too late. :(

Poor Babycat! I really hope she turns up safe very soon. I had a kitten disappear up an unused chimney flue once... it was a hell of a job to get her out but we managed! Good Luck!
HI all, Well still no sign of baby cat. At this point in time I am actually hoping that she did somehow get out, because if she is somewhere in the house then i think she is hurt or worse, we have not heard any scrambling or her meow.
We left the garage partially open last night so as she could go in for shelter, if she was out there., i see no footprints in the snow.
EMERALDGREEN, my son was at college yesterday, so he wasnt home untill 2.50 pm.
I did bring some groceries in the house, so made a few trips in and out.
I just wish i could remember wether i actually did see her when i got home.
All the cats here usually come running to greet me when i come home.
Molly keeps crying for no apparent reason, i keep thinkin she is trying to tell me somin.
I have been everywhere in the house u could think of. behind the washer and dryer..... in the washer and dryer..yikes
i have even looked under the fridge. Molly and baby cat always loose there toys under the fridge and will sit there waiting for someone to get a stick to get them out. So thought she may have somehow tried to get under there.
Brooke, my youngest (8 yrs) whom is mummy to baby cat, cried her self to sleep. I am going to keep her home from school today and we will see whatwe can do. Maybe go to the local gorcery stores and post signs tere too. I will contact the local animal rescue and perhaps the paper.
I hope that you find her soon. I know that it is agonizing to wonder where she is, and if she is ok. I'm praying that you find her. <<<HUGS>>> to you and your daughter.
Many of my cats have put me through this at one time or another, as well. It is part of the feline DNA code to hide and make your humoms crazy with worry.
Don't leave food down. She could be eating when you aren't aware of it. Put food out, feed the others, and in 10 minutes pick it all up. May take 24 hours but that is one thing which has worked for me.
They find the darndest places to hide and a young one can curl up into a small place you would never dream would fit.
Meanwhile, also consider getting a collar with a bell for her. I've done that twice with young ones who repeatedly hid. It doesn't work while they are curled up sleeping, but it does help once they start moving. I usually leave the collar on until they are large enough -- and I am confident enough - that I think they will be easier to find.
Prayers that she shows up soon! Come on, Baby Cat, come on OUT!
Don't forget to look in dresser drawers either. Mine always take the opportunity to jump in and we've closed many a cat in the dresser...even the barthroom drawers.
Even if you checked the basement, if you have one, did you check the attic? It doesn't hurt to look in places that you're sure she isn't in.
Pantry? You mentioned groceries...did you check in the fridge or freezer? :(
Under the bed, inside the box spring, or in the couch?
I'm sorry you haven't found her yet, but I'm glad to hear you're not giving up!
Lorn - if Molly meows at you...see if she will lead you somewhere!
I pray this has a happy ending!
If she DID get out, then maybe someone thought she was a 'lost' kitten and took her to a shelter? I hope you have been calling them all!
PT Prayers for Kitten Kitten!
ETA: A friend recently had a cat 'missing' - electricians had been over, and the furbaby was happily sitting up in the ceiling rafters where they had cut a hole!
Also - what kind of heating do you have? Even grown cats have crawled into interesting 'tunnels' and been in the household ductwork.
More prayers your way!
Yeah I have been asking Molly (sounds silly i know) to help me find baby cat.
I have contacted 3 different shelters in 3 nearby cities, just incase someone found her and drove her to a diffo shelter. I have called all the local vets and posted signs in there.
My mum and Brooke printed 50 flyers up and put them in peoples doors nearby home.
I am once again ripping apart my basement(the unfinished part where all the junk is), I have to know for sure she isnt hurt somewhere down there.
Takin a break for lunch then i will be back at it.
My husband has left from work early too, so as he could maybe go walkin round the neighbour hood again.
I just dont know what else to do! :(
Lorn, posting flyers on the neighbors doors is a good idea but I would even go one step further and ask at least the 4 closest neighbors to physically go and check their garages. Even if they see the flyer, it might not occur to them that they should check spots like that. I hope you find her soon. I know this must be agonizing.
I don't know if this will help, but I have one cat that crawls into the ceiling :rolleyes: I have a drop ceiling in the family room, but the laundry room next door does not have a finished ceiling. So she jumps on the water heater and then to an opening for the drop ceiling and will hide there when she wants to be left alone.
Thanks everyone, Just thought i would update u.
Still no baby cat. My basement has been ripped apart. Nothing.
I have looked in every drawer in the house and closet.
I am now thinkin she must have got out, or some alien abducted her.... Its like she just vanished.
We have 5 cats and none of them go out. Only in the backyard in the summer. I have it all cat proofed so they cant get out.
At the moment, we have a major ice/snow storm, so i pray someone has taken the precious little girl in. Surley if someone sees her they would know she wasnt supposed to be out, she is too clean lookin and to little.
Hubs has been to all the pet stores and grocers with flyers.
Its just weird cause baby cat never ran to door to escape, she would sit there and look out but ive not known her to try and go out.
I'm was hoping to hear that you had found her by now.:( I sure hope that some one will find her very soon. She'll remain in my thoughts and prayers.
Baby cat was found. You can read about where she was in this thread.
