They had the cat already in the box before you got there? That's horrible! I wonder how long that poor kitty sat in there and it wasn't even your baby! I would have been mad too.

Poor little Fister *pats his head*

Maui has had experiences like that. My whole family went away to my sister's wedding in August, we left the bird and the cat HUGE BOWLS of food and I (secretly) had a friend from work checking on them (mom didn't want anyone, but I wanted to make sure they were okay).

Well, our house is up for sale and Maui's litter box is in the bathroom we never use, under the sink (it's his own private toilet). We have a mesh curtain that he walks through (he likes his privacy) and can go. He's not allowed in the back bedroom - there is no a/c back there, and this being Florida it would not be good. He's also not allowed out into the garage when we aren't here - so we left notes for that, and I told my Mother we should make a sign not to close Maui's bathroom door.

It's happened before that they've closed it on him (he didn't mess the house for THREE WHOLE DAYS). But they must have been there early in the week and the door was closed when we got home. My friend, of course said he was sick (he had just found out he had Mono...of course my luck!) and couldn't have made it over. Poor Maui.

But that's still not as bad as what happened to your poor Fister! I feel bad for him.
