Just the other day I had a scare too! I went downstairs and hubby was frantic. He said "have you seen the cats?" It was sort of as you describe Jazzcat. Hubby had gone into the garage to put something into his car, and then came back in to use the bathroom before leaving for work. He thought that he had closed the door to the family room which leads to the garage but when he came out saw that it was open . What was worse was that the front of the garage, leading to the street, was open. We both started frantically searching the house, starting with their favorite lounging spots. We found Andy right away but didn't find Trevor until we walked around the far side of the garage. There he was taking a leisurely stroll heading for the driveway. Hubby called his name and, believe it or not, he turned around and came in! Whew! CATS!
