Oh bloody hell ...

The back door was wide open (we suspect Monster). Both cats could not be found, a quick squawk brought Mon out from her hiding place under the outside table (hurrah for an agoraphobic cat!), but Cookie is still missing 40 minutes later. Everything else is suspended until the return of the little cat!

Cookie is found! She was asleep in a half-open drawer the whole time! That cat could sleep for England ... HURRAH! and PHEW!

Let us know when you find Cookie.

Ours have hidden in fear behind planters, hidden under the next door neighbours bed, and... er... been in the house all the time.

I hope Cookie is home by now... The first time mine went out scared me silly.

I have hopes that she is in the house, she can hide for England ... but she was an outdoor cat before she went to the pound and came here, so she may have decided to embark on an adventure. I've done a lap of the streets and called out quite a bit, now I am just waiting very, very nervously. If she is not back by tomorrow, I will take the day off and canvas the neighbourhood. At least she is tagged!

Not yet, and I am scared silly! Thank goodness Mon is a little thickie and sat under the table beside the door!

Please update us when Cookie is found. *sends cat-finding signals*

I will. I hope it is soon as I am very anxious -- she is so little and soft! Thank you for the signals -- follow them home, you little bugger!

I hope you find her soon!
My parents' cat is usually hiding on the roof. He gets up there easily, but doesn't know how to get down again. Cats get stuck on trees a lot, too.

Fletcher (ginger & white) and Molly (tuxedo) went missing once after a door ajar incident - hubby and I ran frantically around trying to find them only to find them curled up on top of each other behind the telly! Oh and friend's kitty Magsie went missing for 4 days only to be found in the neighbors shed steadily devouring a massive sack of dog food - she was in heaven!!

Here's to safe and sound kitties everywhere - she'll turn up!!

I thought I heard her on the roof, but when we looked, there was no one there. There is a high part of the roof we cannot see, she may be hding up there being naughty. I am just waiting for her to become hungry, as she is a greedy little muppet and will hopefully come back for kibbles! Couldn't see her in any trees, but if she is not back by the morning I will have a good look around in daylight. And a minor nervous breakdown.

Fingers crossed! She has snuck outside once before and was cheerfully chasing a grasshopper in the side garden, and on her first day here she spent 8 hours hiding in the chimney -- if I am very lucky she will appear soon having been asleep in a secret Cookie spot the whole time. Or I will chew off all my nails ...

Will cross everything for a speedy safe cookie return :)

Oh shit! Praying for her and you. Xoxoxo Keep us updated!

Thank you, I will!

FOUND! She was sound asleep in a drawer, ignoring my shouts and shaking of the kibble pot. Thank goodness! She shows a deep lack of concern for my panic, though submitted amicably to all the hugs that were lavished upon her when I spotted a glimpse of her furry little bum between the towels.

She's found! She was sound asleep in a half-open drawer the whole time. HURRAH!

She's found! In classic cat style she had squidged into a drawer and was nestled in among black towels. I went into the bedroom to see if she was hiding behind the tallboys or bookshelves, or caught up in the curtains as usual, and spotted a very soft looking towel. She has been cuddled and patted until she was slightly annoyed.

HURRAH! KITTY CRISIS OVER! KITTY FOUND! Let's celebrate with macarons! \o/

She's found! In true cat form she was in the towel drawer the entire time, ignoring my plaintive cries. I think we might need a dog that we can train to find the cats ... or maybe a robot ...

Little toad, hiding in the house the entire time! Glad you found her safe & sound eventually.

Cookie its not nice to give mummy and daddy minor heart failure. You should come when you are called, naughty kitty.

♥ It's awesome. :) Ah, annoyed cuddly cat. ;)

[identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com 2011-02-13 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I gave her SUCH a cuddling, and she must have known I was upset, because she didn't squirm off over my shoulder. But she did give me the look of 'Good grief, woman, I'm a cat, not a toddler! I can take care of myself!'

Phew! Now have yourself a good strong cup of tea!

I KNOW!

She did the same thing for eight hours the day after we got her, we eventually found her at the bottom of the chimney, which has one of those grate things over it, and I had stuck my arm into the small gap to take photos, but she was a black cat on a black background ... and when I say we found her, what I mean is that eight hours later she put her head out, miaowed, and wanted to play. Right now she is giving us looks that clearly indicate she thinks we are weird.
