Last night we were lying in bed, I was fast asleep, when we heard a bang. I wasn't going to get up because I thought they had just done the usual trick of knocking things off the shelf in the lounge. But Mark said it came from the bathroom so he shot out of bed and all I heard was' OH MY GOD' so I ran in...
We have VERY high ceilings and the systern to our toilet is stored up by the ceiling in a bit which is set back from the rest of the wall. There is usually a wooden board closing this area off but we had a leak in the roof and took this off to put buckets up there and just hadn't put it back yet. This bit leads out to the inside of the roof and the rest of the building, you can actually see daylight through a little vent in there and apart from that its pretty disgusting. (we live on the top floor of an enormous building with shops, flat, restaurants etc).
I ran into the bathroom and see Mark with his toes perched on the wooden rail which runs around the middle of the walls, holding onto Nismo's tail. I nearly died of fright, he says 'Help me!' So I had to put my hands under his feet to support him (not easy when you are as short as me) while he literally dragged her out with one hand. I didn't realise how strong cats can be if they don't want to budge. If she hadn't knocked the deodorant can off the shelf when she launched herself up there (still dont really understand how she managed it), we wouldnt have heard her and would have no idea how she just vanished. This has just upset me so bad. Mark nailed the wood back up there straight away, but I lay awake the whole night thinking, where else could she potentially get out?
Is this because she wants to breed just now or does she just not like us? I just can't stop thinking about, what if we hadn't been in?!? She didn't come to bed the whole night and would barely let me touch her this morning, although I did get a cuddle before I left for work.
Thank goodness she is getting spayed on Friday. I just want to go home and cuddle her, I can't bare the thought of what might have happened if we had ignored the noise like we normally do
