Bad Meowmie!

I accidentally shut Mollipop up in the computer room yesterday before I left for work and she spent the entire day in there. With no litterbox. No toys. No water.

She and I always get ready for work together. When I get out of the shower and start to dry off, she scritches at the bathroom door, so I can let her in the bathroom. I have her in my arms when I'm brushing my teeth, so she can bat at my toothbrush. When I'm in the kitchen putting my apple and yogurt in my little lunch bag, Molli is in the kitchen screaming for a snack to tide her over. And when I'm dressing in the computer room, she's sitting on "her" chair watching me. When I'm dressed, I pick her up and carry her over to the bedroom to the catnapper...she curls up and goes to sleep. It's our routine and it hardly ever changes.

We did all those things yesterday. I remember picking her up and placing her in the catnapper. Told her that I loved her, but that I had to go to work so I could buy her kitty food. I went over to the computer room to get my iPod and she must have come in behind me. I shut the door and went to work.

DH came home and she was frantic. She was a little hoarse, so she must have been meowing for somebody to please get her out of the room. She was right at the door and when DH opened the door, he smacked her with it. Poor Mollipop. She "texted" me when DH got home and left her out of the room. She was not amused.

Bless her heart, she didn't pee or poop anywhere and I'm hoping that she spent most of the day sleeping. She didn't do a lot to the papers on DH's desk, thank goodness...she did get the stamps and chewed on them, but I guess that's OK. The cats have a queen-sized pillow on a stand next to the double window in that room and they do spend a lot of time sleeping there. That was on the floor. But that was it.

When I got home last night, she was at the door waiting for me and, boy, did I ever catch it from her. She was meowing and meowing, telling me all about how she was traumatized and how dare I do that to her??!

I spent the rest of the night groveling and catering to her every whim. I just felt so bad.

aww, at least she had space in the computer room!

I once accidentally shut Monet in the closet for 4 hours when I went shopping. At least, this is the closet that had his litter box in it.

Poor little Mollipop!!! I guess she went for the stamps in hopes to mail herself out of that room . I once had locked Presley in the pantry all morning about five hours a couple of months ago. He had somehow managed to jump on to the first shelf while he was locked in there and knocked all of the cans of cat food down, helped himself to a bag of Temptations hairball treats, knocked down all of the cats bowls I keep on that shelf. When I got home, all the cats were waiting for me and near the pantry looking at the door. I knew someone was in there at that point. Opened the door and there was a black blur tearing out the door. It was a disaster in that pantry . Presley went and jumped on the dining room table and stretched out, looked at me as if to say "took you long enough" and then fell asleep. I think we all accidentally lock our kids up from time to time. And somehow, they still manage to dart into closets, pantries and linen closets when I open up the doors. I have learned to check for all cats before I leave the house now. . Sounds like Mollipop was such a good girl in that computer room given her panicky situation.

Aww, poor Miss Pop! They sure can be quick about getting into places without us noticing.. It sounds like she survived the ordeal well enough though and enjoyed the kissing up you had to do when you got home from work.

My bridge cat Harry once spent a whole day inside a dresser drawer! He never even made a peep, even when we were calling him!

I accidentally shut Holland in a semi-walk-in closet overnight once. Over 8 hours with no food, water, toys, nothing but clothes and storage stuff... Like every other day, I never heard a peep out of her. After that incident I told her if she was a little more vocal, maybe things that that wouldn't happen!

I'm so glad Molli survived her ordeal and was properly spoiled afterward. Especially because it seems she's so neglected normally...

Poor Mollipop I'm sure you made it up to her with lots of hugs

Maia says 'Shame, Shame on you! ' When she read this she was very upset and concerned about her little sister ......
But then she was reminded how her meowmie has been leaving early and coming home late every day this week! So then she said 'Right on Molli! I have been torturing Cheyenne by making her do whatever I want and need as well!'
So basically Maia is sending Mollipop a big .....I don't even know why I allowed this communication, before we know it they will have imposable thumbs........

Don't feel too bad. Megan always slips into our walk-in closet and gets shut in for hours. The silly girl never meows to let us know she's even in there I'm sure Mollipop will forgive you

Maybe she got you back by doing some "on-line" shopping during her incarceration. You'll know when the kitty toys start arriving in the mail...

Took us several times of shutting Flowerbelle in the closet for us to learn to always check it before we leave.

But SUCH a good girl!

Thanks for the laugh!

You're one of the most wonderful meowmies OUT there, so I'm sure you were forgiven in no time!

You guys are a hoot!

Actually there will be toys arriving soon.....I bought two more Birds for the kids to play with. And we bought some more meeces, too!

I think she forgave me. Yesterday morning (Friday) when I was dressing for work, she was right there on her chair in the computer room watching me. I was chatting with her and she was purring. And when I finished, she went over to the bathroom with me so that I could put my earrings in my ears.

I picked her up, gave her a big smooch, and put her on the catnapper for her nap. Did NOT go into the computer room! And left the house.

And this morning? She's running through the computer room at light speed! So I think she's fine!

(Thanks, Kailie!)

Hey, when Harley was a kitten, he disappeared. We kept hearing this pathetic crying, but couldn't figure out where it was coming from. We checked under everything, and finally isolated the sound to the fridge. We opened the door, and there was Harley shivering on the bottom shelf of the fridge! Apparently he crawled in while I was making dinner. If he can forgive us for that, I think you will be fine.
