I had a meeting to go to tonight. I knew my husband and kids (4 and 6) would be in and out because it was a nice evening so I warned him to keep an eye on the cat.
I pull up at 8:45pm and hit the button for the garage door --- my 5 month old kitten is in the garage freaked out jumping at the door to the house and finally runs and hides somewhere behind the workbench. I quickly hit the button to shut him in and went in the front door.
So, I say to my husband, "why is the cat in the bleepidy bleepidy garage?" "He is? You must of let him out there." Impossible since I was in my car the whole time!
So, I go in the garage and call him. He comes running out at the sound of my voice. He is so happy to see me. I brought him inside and he was all over me.
This makes me so worried. I feel like a prisoner in my own home and like I can't trust anyone. The other day we had a baby-sitter and I told her the kids are not to go outside when we are not home for this reason. I am supposed to go away with some friends for four days in a couple month and I'm thinking of sending my cat to my mothers -- I just can't trust my husband and kids -- if the cat does get out they may not even realize it. My mother would be much better at keeping an eye on the door and she and my dad don't go out nearly as much as we do.
I do have him microchipped and I am toying with the idea of making him wear a collar with the microchip id and my name on it. I think cats don't like collars much though.
