Grr, I just had to say this to people who'd understand. I can't believe how gormless the cleaner was who stood with the front door wide open while I was paying her partner in the passageway. Of course, as soon as I saw the door, I asked if any cats had gone out - it took a little while for her to get it, and then 'yes' and big hand gesture as to 'general' direction.
Now the previous visit, I told them to watch the doors and the cats weren't allowed out. Just 3 minutes prior to her lettting my cat out, she saw us coming back from an outside walk with harnesses. What looney does not get it then that I don't let my cats out unattended???
After 1hr walking around and calling my boy, I called the cleaning agency to report what happened, and request they ask the cleaners EXACTLY where the cat had gone. The agency called me back to report that the cat hadn't got out, and was in the house, and a few other lies. I lost it then and told them to call the cleaners again, and get definitive answers as they were lying - and I won't have liars in my home, nor should I think the company would want liars in their employ.
Well, that changed the story! Unfortunately, no better help on the direction my cat went. Anyway, after 6 hours, I found my cat. He'd come home, but had to rip through the chicken wire that we have enclosing the backyard (to keep them in!). He is quiet, walking gingerly, yowling every time I pick him up - which I did twice to check him over. He has two bloody paws. And he is dead tired and all curled up alseep (no food even). I have told the cleaning company that if I need to take him to the vet, they will be hearing from me.
ARGHHHHHH!!!!! So angry. So relieved! And so pitifully sorry for little Ava (my female cat) who has been crying for her absent friend and can't work out what is wrong with him (he's dead asleep!)

Has been quite different in other cities I've lived in. Anyway, I think I might be onto a good cleaner now - similar story to yours Angel's Mommy!
