Oh, Sicy! Oh, Saki! What a relief to know the little guy is Ok! I too have just read this whole thread from the beginning, and in a few minutes my stomach may agree to return to its normal position, but what a fright!

I know the feeling all too well. I've told the story of Cindy and the red bag chase somewhere in these forums, so I won't repeat it, but she would have been about the same age, and was "missing" for the better part of a day. Freak out city! I don't wanna live through that again.

Saki, don't DO that. If you're scared, tell Mum. She'll keep you safe.

OMG I almost had a heart attack when I saw this thread just now. I am SOOOOOOO glad to know Saki is safe and sound! One of the kitties getting out is my worst nightmare too.

Jeez, I bet you NEEDED that bottle of wine once the ordeal was over!

Wow!

I too thought that you had checked the inside or that your fiancee saw him leave the building.

Great to hear that Saki is safe and well.

Well, this is good news to wake up to. I swear, I came to this thread first this morning hoping for good news. Do we need to add a category to the V-Day poll that says, "Almost beat my partner to death"?


Poor little Saki. That balloon must have done some number on him. Just goes to show you, though, what lengths a cat will go to when frightened. It's no wonder we don't easily find them when they get out. The link that Mags posted makes more sense than ever.

A giant
of relief from my house to yours, Sicy.

OMG Sicy, what an emotional roller-coaster! I one time thought I had closed the door to my rental and the door bounced off and opened again and my Simba walked out and Nala was sitting on the doorstep to our little trailer but hadn't touched the grass yet. Luckily, my hubby noticed quickly, before they had walked/ran far away and weren't able to get into the street or another's yard and was able to bring them back in in a panicky 10 minutes. But I have accidentally found the door open a couple of times. Now I am moving into a house with a garage so now I can go in and out of the garage without having to worry about kittys 4 running out. Good that you found Saki, when I can't find one of my cats in the house, I call their name then throw a toy and they usually come and respond. If that doesn't work and I dont' see all 4, then I am looking under the beds, table and chairs...etc.
If I ever permanently lose one of my babies, I'm be bawlin' and so heartbroken. Thankgooness you found him!

I'm so glad he was home safe the whole time! My cat, Simon, has done this to me twice! I don't know how they stay under there so long. Beleive me, even if you had called him, he probably would not have come out. That's what Simon did. I finally had to get a flashlight and look into every corner of the house. His eyes reflected the light so I knew he was there!

Welcome Home Saki!!!!

YAY ! I went to bed last night worried to death about him, so the first thing I did when I got up was check in. What a nice way to start the day !

I went through all the emotions with you I think as I just went through this thread , and I came away with a thought . Do your Cats have any ID? like a tag with your name address and phone number? or are they microchiped ? I got Patches a tag with her name on the front and our name address and phone number on back , she also has her little rabies tag on that has the number to the vet so if shes lost came one can call and say I have a cat here with the tag number 98 , then the vet can identify her. Soon she will be going in for microchipping.

It was just a thought

The reason Jim thought he got out was because when he came in, he couldnt find him. He shaked toys and treats and normally Saki would come RUNNING. He must have been reallly freaked out.

I dont believe in collars but both of my cats are microchipped. Though I wasnt too confident in that helping since there are so many cats around here I would think the only way he'd end up back at the shelter would be if he was hurt or dead


My landlord is such a @#!$% I told you. She called all the neighbors this morning wondering what the stuff was all around the building. So now I have to go sweep it up!!
This is going to take me forever

Whoops, didn't notice there was more than one page to the thread! Hate when that happens!


Phew! That is good news!
