Cats can be amazing at what they survive. ;-)

My Persian, Diana, dissapeared one day. I tore the house apart looking
for her, twice! I thought maybe she had gotten outside and it had been
raining heavily. (I don't let my cats outside).

I found her quite by accident 8 days later in a desk drawer! How she got
in there, I'll never know. I guess I had it open (it held ebay
inventory) and she crawled in there and I closed her in it. The drawers
are deep and long.

No, I no longer have that desk...

She headed straight for the food dish and there was no pee or poop in
the drawer! I called the vet and talked to her about it and she told me
that as long as the cat was acting normal not to worry.

It was not the first time she had heard this kind of story.....

Om,

Don't know why I chose that for the CotD. I love cats and they
mysteriously love me. I've had newly met cats climb on me and lick my
arms (feels like sandpaper) to their keeper's amazement. I'm kinda/sorta
a giant so I always yield to cats.

My last girlfriend insisted that when I first come over her cat would run
for the hills. I assured her, "your cat will like me!" She grinned and
shook her head. Within minutes we were friends. My (then) girlfriend was
shocked. I guess it's their sixth sense?

Scary how they can get themselves into places like that.
Why didn't she raise a fuss, I'm sure you would have noticed
your drawer meowing.

I opened my garage door, the neighbor's cat came flying out,
very very ****ed off. Aww, Sweetie, what were you doing in
there? Obviously had gone in the last time the door was open ...
4 days earlier at the least. Poor thing, it's such a sweetie, since
I rarely open the garage door, he's damn lucky I didn't find him
dead in the spring.

Heh, you reminded me of when I first brought my cats to my
new apartment ... they got to meet Ron. He's like the patron
saint of animals, they all migrate to him. Well, my two bookends,
Scotty and Murph the tuxedo cats, would stand side by side and
stare at him sitting on the couch. He'd stand up and AHHH they'd
scramble out of the room like in the cartoons, nails scratching trying
to flee around the corner to get away from the giant ... pulling each
other back to be the first one to hide. Soooo funny ... for a few times.
Then ron started getting annoyed.

They came around once they realized he was nicer than me.

After a few weeks with my girlfriend and her cat, "Patches", I was
sitting on the sofa and Patches went to the front summer screen door,
looked outside, turnked and meowed at me. I got up, opened the door an
let her out.

Dumb thing was it was raining and she ran to the nearest tree and sat
there.

I wonder!!!

All the best,

Andy

I listened... Diana has a very soft, weak meow! You know how some cats
are. Not much of a voice. She was on top of some plastic bead containers.

Lol, great cat tales, cheers.

In the light of the other threads... Are any of your cats fussy eaters?
