OT: HELP PLEASE -- Found Cheeto :-)

Posted by Tia Mary on September 29, 2009, 3:56 pm

I found him and he's a freakin' Houdini cat! I just KNEW that the
as soon as I posted, I would find the little stinker!!!!!
So -- I was taking to one of my friends here who has seen my sewing
room and she was convinced that he had managed to get stuck behind
something in there. There are boxes and bags of needlework and sewing
stash along all the walls and stuffed into every nook & cranny so there
are a ton of places for a kitten to investigate and get stuck in.
Now DH and I checked out the sewing room several times and he even
looked behind the furniture with a flash light! I went in to search
everywhere again and stared on the wall with the doorway and book
shelves from top to bottom. Below the bookshelves, all open space is
filled with stash. I moved everything and there was no Cheeto. The
next wall has the window and under the window (pushed as close to the
window as possible but not touching the molding) is a low chest of
drawers. It is not quite to my waist and the sides and front are solid
to the floor but the back has about a 4" gap. My sewing table is right
in front of the chest and close enough that I can't open the drawers.
My little cordless hands free phone sits on that dresser and I
noticed that it was not on. I get down on my hands & knees (never a fun
thing to do with my arthritis in the knees) crawl under the sewing table
to get to the plugs, etc. I'm right next to the little chest of drawers
and suddenly I hear a scritching sort of noise from UNDER the chest and
suddenly Cheeto's little head pops out and he gives me a HUGE yawn!!!
He jumps over everything and has a nice stretch in the middle of the
sewing room floor and off he goes!!!!! He had to have slithered his
way behind the chest (there's about 3" of space at the most and then
squirreled his way under the back of the chest and fallen asleep there.
DH looked but only behind the chest, not under it!
The little brat cat acted like he was afraid of MOI and ran off and
hid under the slipper bench in my bedroom. I went downstairs and he
zipped right past me and went out to the screen room. Then I told him
he had food, showed him the bowl and he came running and let me love on
him. So he's reappeared -- LOL -- and I'm quite relieved. VBS, I'm
afraid this is likely not the last time he finds somewhere to sneak
into. Hopefully, next time it won't be at food time and I won't get

Our cats must be cousins, since Adele can simply disappear and I can't
find her anywhere! She does it almost every afternoon around 3, and
comes waltzing out of who-knows-where about supper time. At 10 pounds
she's not tiny, but she's a tuxedo cat, and when she curls into a ball
to nap only the black shows and she can be in a dark corner and be
invisible. I have a wee little bell on her collar with her ID tag, so
the faint jingle helps, but only when she is awake and moving.

Cheeto doesn't have a collar yet as he is still so little. He will
have one by the time we take him to Lizard Land. The other kitties have
collars with name tags and their license attached so they clink just
like bells and that helps to know who is where. Of course, just as with
your cat, that only works when they are awake and moving around :-)l

I once manged to lose a kitten in a one room efficiency apartment
(there wasn't even a door on the closet.) Looked
EVERYWHERE. . . .twice. (All kitchen cupboards, behind the fridge,
even in the pots and pans; I was completley late for work. Bent down
to check under the bed for the fourth time and heard a dim, strangled
little miau. He must have crawled into bed with me in the middle of
the night, then rolled over the foot of the bed under the covers.
Poor thing was stuck where the blankets were tucked in--like a little
kitty straight jacket! Good job I checked that one last time!
