As soon as our baby cried, the dog would run in front of us, make a quick, sharp bark, then run into the baby's room and sit next to the crib looking in, and not move until the baby stopped crying. We almost changed her name to Nana!

Too right! As soon as the baby was put in his highchair, the dog would sit right underneath, looking up during the entire time the baby was there. Usually food never reached the floor... Liquids became a comedy scene.

My cats are going to be the death of me! Literally!

So ... tonight we set out the food bowls for our little darlings! Only the 2 older cats show up. No Stella.
Odd ... Stella has never missed a meal in her life.

So I rattle the food in her bowl loudly whilst walking through the house ....
No Stella ....

OK ... still calm ... I run to the screen door on the deck .... nope, no holes or tears ....

OK ... losing calm slightly ... we open every cabinet, closet, door, in the house .... while shouting her name ....

No Stella ....

Starting to sweat now ....

Get out flashlights and look under every piece of furniture while quizzing each other as to when we had gone outside this afternoon.

I lose control briefly, dash outside, and search under the deck, bushes, etc.

No Stella .....

I get out the bag of treats and go through all the rooms rattling it while calling her name .....
No Stella .....

Blood pressure approaching serious levels, head pounding, stomach churning our acid at an alarming rate ....

We re-open every cabinet door, using flashlights, pulling stuff out, in every room.
No Stella

I even open the washer & dryer! ....

No Stella ....

I return to the spare bedroom closet and start pulling out stuff stacked on the floor ....

And a head pops up! Guess who? Smiling no less ....

In the rear back corner of the closet, behind the spare bedding & towels (which I had previously checked for sleeping cats) there is a narrow vertical tunnel about the size of a shoe box that extends to the floor. She was in it ... the entire time ... waiting to be found ....

Trapped you say?
Nope ....

Asleep you say?
Nope ....

Playing games? You got it in one.

She strolled out into the kitchen and calmly ate her dinner.

We poured drinks and collapsed, vowing to shop online tonight for an ant farm.
We're too old for this level of excitement!

for the ant farm - just don't get the red amazonian ones.
And if you do assure the farm is absolutely unbreakable.

I remember reading a biography of Dorothy L Sayers many years ago, which quoted a letter she wrote to a friend while having some repairs done in her house. The immortal line which I have treasured ever since was: "The cat is doing her best to get nailed down under the floorboards." Anyone who has lived with a cat knows exactly what she means!

At least you know about that hidey-hole now.

No ... we plan to put Stella into the ant farm! We've spent tonight imagining her face squished against the glass silently meowing!
