Welcome to pet talk cool_cats_house. I hope your kitty is ok from his basement experiment. My poor Katie girl was accidently locked in my bedroom cupboard for the whole day. Needless to say, i heard about it from her when i opened the door from hearing her meowing. Boy did i get kitty heck for at least a good five minutes. I'm telling you i could'nt apologize enough to her. I make sure i don't do that again.
