So I come down this morning and there is Orion chomping down his kitty chow and I think Kiri is in her dining room (the guest room) as we have to feed them separately or Orion will not get any food at all.
And then my husband says: Have you seen Kiri?
Which made me more awake than usual at this time of the day.
Turns out he has not seen the girl since the evening before!!! He kind of thought she was upstairs with me but she wasn’t.
Ok, so we look in the house and open all closets. No Kiri.
Kiri is a bit of a door darter so usually I would have thought she slipped out when he got the newspaper but usually she asks for a snack when he gets up in the night and she hadn’t done that.
We look in the staircase and the cellar. No Kiri.
I take the box with treats and shake it outside in front of the house and in the garden: No Kiri.
You can imagine in what state we were by then. There is quite a street not far from our house and I walked around all of the block (which is quite a walk in the early morning), always scared I could find her by the roadside. No Kiri.
Back home I had hoped Siegmar would have found her by then but no….
So again I went in the garden and that was when I heard a loud and unhappy meeooow. And there she was. She was sitting in a deep shaft in front of the cellar window and couldn’t get out. We usually get the line of the lawnmower out of this window and that’s what we had done yesterday, so the window had been open, but now it was closed. And someone had not put the grid over the shaft, or he would have found her…….Poor Kiri couldn’t get out to the surface as it was too deep and she could not get in the window as it was closed. Whether she got out of the cellar when the window was open yesterday we have no idea. It could also have been possible that she got out the door and tried to slip back in through the cellar.
Kiri was not amused. Even the shorter height to the cellar window was too high for her, so when I had opened the window I got on a ladder inside the cellar (from there, the window is under the ceiling), then put a big bath towel down the wall into the outside shaft so she could reach up which she couldn’t do with the concrete wall. She reached up and when I saw her little face (with airplane ears) I grabbed her under her arms and pulled her up. Little girl went up to the flat in no time and right to Orion’s bowl gobbling down all that was left.
She is totally unharmed and all herself- but we…. I did not have time to take the shock in fully. I am just so glad she is here.
So here are 2 pictures of our naughty girl- one is already a little older as there is no more snow. I think you can see in both that she is Miss Mischief.

I hope she won't try that again, but if she does, you'll know where to look.
