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
