I FOUND HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Siwsan]

I took the little hand vac to the guest room and started moving things AGAIN that are beneath the bed. I did that yesterday and moved the box, but if she was there, she just froze and I missed her. I'm going to put some food and water out for her and wait for her to reappear.

Honestly, I feel like 20 tons have been lifted off of my shoulders!!!! And I've gotten rid of a bunch of dust bunnies.

She's going to get super spoiled. First thing, before food and water, will be an entire tube of Churu.

1. I knew you would find her. Now I am breathing again.

Lady Carys it is okay to stay secluded but you can’t disappear 🫥

2. Most excellent, I feel like I can relax now too😸

Patches was in a snit after the vet and I finally got him to move into the bedroom by vacuuming the living room. It works. He’s back to normal now. I had a good feeling you would find your kitty, but I don’t blame you for worrying.

3. I knew you would.

Sometimes they slip through portals to alternate universes, making it impossible to find them no matter how thoroughly you search. I have had this experience with various cats more often than I want to think about - including one time when the cat in question materialized just as I was printing Lost Cat posters to staple to telephone poles. The PawBoost web site where you can ask for help finding missing pets often has Lost posts for a pet followed by Found within an hour or so, and it's always a cat. Dogs don't do this.

I'm glad she materialized back into our universe before you got any more stressed out.

4. She gobbled down her food and drank a lot of water

I gave her more water but will wait a bit before I give her more food. I don't want her to gorge and then just throw it back up.

Every time I put something out for her, I'll place it closer to the edge of the bed.

6. I don't think there's food or water in the alternate universe.

They just go there to hang out and make people worry about them.

7. Also to transport single socks. nt

10. The alternate universe portal explains a lot

21. I think Merlin 🧙 conjured her back to our dimensional space 😺

However it was accomplished it is a wonderful thing that she has reappeared! 👏🏼👏🏼

5. We took a cat on vacation in a 5th wheel camper. We could not find him and had to leave

The campground. We tore the camper apart. Kids were in tears when we left. He was in the camper, waiting for food when we stopped next. He was really annoyed with us. He never traveled with us again.

11. If you ever ever had a kitten, get loose in a car, man they can get into some tight spaces

[slightlv]

16. I had a hunch!

[jfz9580m]

20. Pic! We want a pic!

Glad you found her .

[niyad]

22. Thank you, Lady Bast!!! hugggggggs for you and Lady Carys!

Had to reassure my little guy that you found her. He had picked up on my worry, so sends his love as well.

[ShazzieB]

23. What a relief!

SO glad she finally turned up!

I slept late today and ended up reading all these posts, oldest to newest, one right after the other. Was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

I guess all the company must have been A LOT for her, so she had to find an extra remote place to retreat from it. But now she can safely recover without you being stressed out, too. Yay!

[3catwoman3]

24. Yay!!! Carys, you owe your mom an apology.

Several years ago, our big male tabby, Winston, disappeared on Thanksgiving Day. He’s an indoor cat, as are all our others, and it was just me, my husband, and our 2 sons at home, so not a lot of opening and closing of any of the doors to the house that would have provided escape opportunities.

Back in the late 1980s, one of our cats did manage to get out of the house, unbeknownst to us, and was struck and killed by a car. A neighbor let us know. We never did figure out how she got out. Ever since then, it takes me about a nanosecond to panic if I can’t find one of our cats, and I’m momentarily sure someone has gotten out somehow.

I searched the proverbial everywhere for Winston, and twice walked the neighborhood calling for him, once after dark. Good luck looking for a black and brown tabby cat in the dark, right?

As I came back in the house after my second walk around, our younger son was coming down the stairs with Winston in his arms. He’d been hiding under that son’s bed, where I had looked, more than once. It’s a platform bed, with pullout drawers, and the damn cat had gone between one of the drawers and the headboard, into a space I couldn’t see when I lifted up the mattress from the foot end of the bed. Had I removed it from the bed entirely, I’d have seen him.

I was so relieved I burst into tears. I’d had such a knot in my stomach all the 9 hours he was “missing” I lost my appetite for the Thanksgiving feast and didn’t even want to eat.

25. They're trying to give us heart attacks.

I swear they're all trying to give us heart attacks.

[bamagal62]

26. Such good news!😻

[spooky3]

27. There must be some serious drugs in Churu. My cats love them!

But not my foster kitty .

[lark]

28. This makes me happy.

Even when things are so shitty in my life I can celebrate someone else's time of happiness and total relief.

[PikaBlue]

29. Fantastic!

This same situation happened to my neighbor. Months after the event, she purchased a new box spring and mattress. When the delivery men removed the old box spring, they found a hole in the fabric covering the bottom side of the box spring. Her cat had torn the hole and then crawled up inside the box spring which is why she couldn't find her. Originally, humans also had 9 lives and then cats adopted us. Now, we're down to one life and the ongoing potential for missing kitty induced heart attacks. 😹

32. I knew it!

I hope she gets more interested in being out and about at some point.
