I came home from a friend’s today, and was walking around the house outside and in calling Maggie in one last ditch effort to get her home. I had done this multiple times in the last 2 days. I wasn’t hopeful, but just couldn’t believe that she would run out the door and not find her way around the house to the deck.
All of a sudden I heard a cawing sound like a crow. Inside the house. I thought maybe it came from the basement where my son was watching TV. But no….I closed the basement door and heard it again. I am deaf in one ear, almost, so have a hard time distinguishing where sounds come from. I looked outside the slider to the deck, and outside the front door, which I’d left open. (It’s 56° here today!!) No Maggie.
Then I heard it one more time and realized it was upstairs. I ran up stairs and opened my spare bedroom door, which I keep closed almost all the time so I don’t have to heat or air condition it.
There she was!
This has happened before, but she has always made it clear where she is and how she’d not like to be there. But this time, not a peep. Until today. She seems none the worse for the wear.
I’m so happy she is not dead. And my son is too…he was feeling so guilty for leaving the door open. (And I told him not to, that she has done that to me a million times, snuck out that door while I’m bringing groceries or whatever in from the car.) Just so glad.
Now I’m going to have to get a really good rug shampoo and clean that room out….

I’m glad you found her 😀 it must be rough on you
Well, yeah, I was the one who shut her in the other bedroom! But so happy she’s ok….thanks!!
I’m THRILLED! Great news. Give her an Irish cuddle from me and take care of yourself!
Thanks Jean! I’m so happy to have her back!
Yay!! Now that you talk about this, I remember, I had a scare with my cat once, too! (But he was also inside the apartment, hidden, that time! ) Happy for you! 😀 And Maggie, ofc.
lol. I can’t believe she didn’t make a peep all the time I was calling her. Lol. Glad I’m not alone in hiding my cat in plain sight!!
I’m so glad she turned up unharmed!
Thank you!! Me too!
Ha,ha, what a relief! Our cat is just like that, I’ll look for her everywhere, and she just watches me do it and remains silent!! Glad you found her at last and she’s safe!
Thanks! She’s usually a very vocal cat….I can’t believe she was quiet while I was walking around calling her name!
Cats have the most peculiar ways don’t they! 🙂
Happy she’s found!!!
Thanks!!
Our cat usually gets stuck in closets lol
They just cannot stand not to go through an open door!
I know lol.
Ohhhh, I’m so glad!!! Naughty Deb shutting your cat in the bedroom (even if it did make me giggle!) x
Lol! It is pretty funny!
So glad she is back. I have cats too… They can test you at times 😉
Poor thing never left. She just went silent! Lol. But she’s fine!!
