Skittles where are you.....

she is not outside. She is here somewhere. Waiting to search more when it is quiet...

Shhhh, be bery bery quiet, we're hunting bunny wabbits, errr, I mean puddy tats.
I bet you are right, she is somewhere in there snickering away. Would she show herself for any special treat? I can't wait to hear where she has decided to play hide and seek.

She is in no mood to eat hasn't going on a week now. She is to big to really jump high but I have looked everywhere. She usually stays in my room 24/7 even when the door is open or closed she loves it in there.

Have you checked behind the pillows on the beds?

Yep Yep. I even have the bed on the boxsprings so she could not go under it. She was groming alot today and her tummy i going bald her teats are pink so she might just be looking for a spot. I bet when the kids head to bed she will be here. Fingers crossed

have you checked inside your couch? we had a big booming thunderstorm and I couldn't find our 15 lb fluffy cat. I looked everywhere big enough for him, then realized I hadn't checked under the couch. I peek under there and I see this huge bulge with a tiny bit of grey fur sticking out! There was my fatty! I didn't even think he could fit under there.
I would also start looking in places you think are too small, they're pretty sneaky and flexible. Our stray mom cat shoved herselv in a very small area to have her babies. I was impressed she had enough room squeeze a kitten out!
I hope you find her!

SKITTLES come out wherever you are!!!

Okay, do you have a drop ceiling? My LH calico was born in the drop ceiling in the basement of her "grandparents' " house. Dirty clothes hamper? And I would check the boxsprings again. I have missed one there (looked several times) more than once Kids rooms? Kids boxsprings? My cat (when I was a kid) decided to have her kittens in my little sister's closet instead of in her nest in mine . Do you have swag curtains? I had a cat that would climb up and sleep in the swag (I like to never found her when she was a tiny kitten!) until it finally fell . Is she on top of your hanging clothes in the closet? Linens? Under a blanket on a bed where it looks like she couldn't possibly be? In the underside (like the boxsprings) of the couch or a chair? Will keep thinking....Will pray you find her soon!

Edit here-Is there anywhere she has been avoiding? May be saving it for kittens...

I agree about looking in places you think she can't fit. Look in every cabinet, behind things, places you looked that might have had a place she could hide you didn't think of.

I once looked for my Tarzen for hours. In a 1-bedroom apt. I thought maybe somehow he had gotten out because I really looked everywhere. When he decided I should find him, he came out.

He was sitting on the windowsill. which was one of hte first places I looked. I had moved the curtains aside, and didn't see him. He was sitting right in the corner of it so I moved the curtains aside right over him. He must have thought it was hysterical.

Its possible she did go to have her kittens. Because she is so big and might have so many, you really shouldn't wait in trying to find her. What if she needs help?

Maybe you can make a game of it with the kids to keep them quiet and they can help. Or offer a reward to the first who finds her.

Or everyone sit each at a doorway of a room, make it very quiet, and see who might hear something first.

Maybe one of the kids opened a cabinet and she got in there and behind something, maybe where you keep your towels. Or a toybox that was open and one of the kids closed. Maybe in a vent.

When my foster, Snowflake was here the first few days, she disappeared. Guess where I found her. She had gotten behind the refrigerator, and there is an opening into where the motor is. She was actually inside the back part of the fridge. You wouldn't think a cat that size would fit there. There are holes like that all over your place you forgot about. So look not only where yo think she is, but where you think she isn't.

Also, if you can get all quiet, sit in the middle of the house, and just meow to her, then wait. Maybe she'll answer at some point to give you an idea of where the sound is coming from.

Good luck

I really have to agree here. She may be having the kittens. You want to make sure she is comfortable and in a nice nesting space. Good Luck Grandma!

I have to agree with her too - I hope you find her very soon, maybe with some kittens!

I just thought of another way to look for her. Close all doors and start in one room with the door shut. Look everywhere. Even places that seem silly.

Exhaust every posibility. Even your box spring on the floor could have a rip in the side that would let her get in. When you know you've cleared that room, go on to the next, but make sure you shut the door behind you. Go from room to room, that way she can't move around on you and go into a room you've just finished going through.

Is there any possibility that one of your kids let her out and hasn't told you? I never wanted to tell my parents if I did something I thought was bad.

I hope you find her!

Check your box springs, we had a cat when I was a kid that ripped the lining of the box spring and climbed in there and tried to have her litter up in there. I also had a Guinea Pig that did the same thing with a couch liner (old furniture, what can I say). I sure hope you find her, you must be going crazy.

I hope you find her, try to keep as calm as possible or she will sense it.

Look what cat dragged in or should I say down....She was hiding in the kids light on the ceiling. The light burned out so she thought it was cool in the dark. I changed the bulb and this is her now.





I told her not to do that again I was worried sick.. But cat had her tongue all she could do was meow Look how noticable her teets are. Are they ok to be that pink.

Silly Skittles, I'm glad you found her

There you are you silly girl! Don't you worry your Mama like that ever again!

Bad thing no babies

She climbed to my sons top bunk and then over to the light holder. She is now sitting on me purring away... Her way am sure of saying sorry...
