The Chronicles of Moo

tripperfunsterSo, our cat Milky Wave? He went missing. :(
We don't let him outside for obvious reasons. (deaf, half blind, seizures etc) but Saturday afternoon, me and the kids went: hey! I haven't seen Milky for a while!
We searched the house, and then, fearing the worst, checked the swimming pool. (he almost drown once already.) Nope. No Milky. (or Moo, as we call him)
We are super careful about keeping the doors closed (due to him) and even though we couldn't think of how he might have gotten out, we searched the yard and surrounding areas. Nothing. I even checked the highway for 'bodies' and thank god, no.
After a sleepless night of worrying, I got up early, printed out some Lost Kitty posters to put up at the post office and surrounding area, and we re-scoured the yard.
Then, before heading out, I took a quick bathroom break. Whist reading my Oprah mag, I heard some odd banging. But it was really windy out, and I chalked it up to the wind. Then, I heard the distintive Prrrrrrr??? of The Moo. WTF??
HE WAS IN THE HEATING DUCTS IN OUR HOUSE! Or more specifically, the space AROUND the heating ducts. I swear to God, he is the oddest cat in the history of cattdom. And dumbest.
But man, I was so relieved. He would NOT survive outside for long.
Yay!
We figure he has used at least 7 of his nine supposed lives.
I"ll keep you all updated.
Edit: ha! Perhaps I won't post all of my phone numbers all over the interwebz. duh

2. I'm really happy your poor stupid cat is OK.

Date: 2010-09-27 10:17 pm (UTC)Thank you! *I* think they're darling, but I'm supposed to, right?
And yeah, I was pretty damn sure he was gone for good. How could he sit in the walls ALL NIGHT and not make a sound??

Date: 2010-09-27 02:24 pm (UTC)Heating ducts? That's a new one on me, and I thought I'd had cats that got everywhere possible in a house. Moo is a very special cat, I can tell.

Date: 2010-09-27 10:23 pm (UTC)And thanks! I think they're pretty cute. Perhaps I'll keep them. ;p

Date: 2010-09-27 02:26 pm (UTC)My mum's poor stupid cat got into the crawl space once. He didn't feel like coming out. Not that he was scared or hiding, it was just "nahh, I'm good here." My mum had to go under there and get him.

Date: 2010-09-27 10:34 pm (UTC)I have no doubt that he will eventually die in a strange and horrifying way. I just hope it's not for many, many years.

Date: 2010-09-27 04:00 pm (UTC)Thank goodness Moo was safe and sound. Dumb maybe, but safe!
no subject
Date: 2010-09-27 10:37 pm (UTC)And yes, dumb but safe pretty much sums it up!

Date: 2010-09-27 05:52 pm (UTC)I do love that pic of the three of them. Wot? I've given your phone numbers to someone just last week...he sorta looked like Dexter. :)
no subject
Date: 2010-09-27 10:40 pm (UTC)Dexter? Cool! Perhaps he'll sit and watch season one with me. I bought it and still haven't taken it out of the shrink-wrap.

no subject
Date: 2010-09-27 10:43 pm (UTC)HE is a pro at making us worry. I"m quite sure he will eventually find some horrible, grotesque way to die. I just hope it isn't for many, many years.

Date: 2010-09-27 10:45 pm (UTC)Oh God, I was so excited and relieved when I realized that he was still alive (and in the house).
He would seriously not do well outside.

Date: 2010-09-27 10:48 pm (UTC)I was quite relieved to find out he was in the wall, and not the ducts themselves. He's a big cat, and it would have been a hell of a squeeze!
no subject
Date: 2010-09-27 10:02 pm (UTC)I'm really glad you found him! He must have been hungry!
no subject
Date: 2010-09-27 10:50 pm (UTC)He is very playful. I can't beleive it took almost 20 hours to finally HEAR him.

Date: 2010-09-30 03:10 am (UTC)Yes, it was a great relief to be sure!
no subject
Date: 2010-09-28 04:47 am (UTC)ANYWAY. WHEW. I am glad Milky was found!!! I saw the first line of your entry and got all "D:!!" and then I like, read the whole thing.
Bratty little kitty doing what he shouldn't!! Glad he is okay!
no subject
Date: 2010-09-30 03:12 am (UTC)And yes, thank God Milky is okay!
