Got a cat on Sunday ... lost him on Tuesday ...

I lost Max today.... I went through the whole house looking for him, even checking cupboards and drawers. Normally he would come running when called and because he has a bell, you can hear him a mile off. I finally came to the conclusion that he must have made a run for it when I was carrying in a huge box of diet coke.

I went around the whole neighbourhood looking for him, knocking on doors and meeting the (very) polite neighbours.

At 2.30 I had to come back to the house to get ready to pick Anna up for school. I was dreading telling her that horrid mummy had lost her cat! I opened the fridge to get one of the diet cokes out when I heard a bell ring... I checked through the fridge thinking that the cat must be in there. I even checked the freezer in case I had accidentally shut him in there (not that I'd been in the freezer mind). I then came to the conclusion that I was losing it and hearing things ... when out popped the cat from behind one of the overhead cupboards in the FITTED kitchen! Somehow, he had managed to squeeze himself in the gap at the back of the highest cupboards in the kitchen and gone up to the roof. I have no idea how he got there, or what he was doing there. I'm just glad he's back.

Now to tell the neighbours that the scary, frantic "pom" found her cat in the roof ....

Thanks for visiting my blog!
Your cat max looks lovely and cuddly, although he looks too big to squeeze behind a high cupboard! Cats are determined creatures!
