Awww, Caramella!! Jax had the exact same experience the other day. We locked him in the coat closet and then went shopping and to dinner (about 3 hours). Although he didn't race to the box when he came out. Uh oh........guess I should check the closet better to see if he left a present in there.
OH NO! That cracked me up!!!

I Still have to dig her out of there everytime I go in it for something.. I just don't want cat hair all over EVERYTHING in there! That was just one of the many times she has gotten shut up in there and I just couldn't let it go to waste again and got my camera.. That pitiful "meeeeew!"
