My wife volunteers at a shelter and works with cats. Recently an "in transit" cat was supposed to stay at our house for an afternoon. :)

I come home from work and see a "post it" note on the closed laundry room door. "Lucy is in here - please keep this door closed." :)

Remembering that we were supposed to have a cat for the day, I open the door to see how the kitty is doing. Hmmm - no cat in sight. :confused:

So I head to my wife's office, thinking she was playing with the kitty. "Lorene - there's no kitty in the laundry room - do you have her? :o

Answer is "no" - panic ensues. Back to the laundry room. There are a couple slots cut out of the drywall that facilitated running some speaker wire to the Polk outdoor speakers I installed last summer.

Wife (panicking) "My GAWD - she's climbed into the walls - she's going to SUFFOCATE!!!! :eek:

Me (also panicking) Run to garage and grab claw tooth hammer. Return to laundry room and start tearing chunks of drywall out. :eek:

No kitty - no where - no how. :mad:

"This can't be happenin' man!" (Hudson - Aliens) :eek:

There's a cabinet in the room with some dead space next to it and a panel in front. Did she climb under the panel and into the "dead space?"

Relief - she must be there but we can't see her. Back to garage - return to laundry room with hole saw. Drill large peep hole into cabinet. Peer inside - NO CAT :eek::eek:

Wife - (panicking) "GAWD she must have climbed up into the walls where we can't see her- she's gonna suffocate - we gotta find her. :eek::eek:

Me (also panicking) grab aformentioned claw tooth hammer and proceed to rip the walls out of the laundry room.

NO FRICKIN' CAT :confused::confused::confused:

Grab pry bar, rip out panel in front of aformentioned dead space. Peer under adjacent cabinet.

Cat found! :):)

Oh well - that room needed re-modeling anyway.

    reminds me of when we moved from our old house, we got everything moved to our new house except the damn cat - it got into the attic crawl space and wouldn't come out. I set a have-a-heart live trap (baited with meow mix) by the crawl space entrance. took 9 days but finally caught her :p

    Cats just don't like any changes, especially changing house. I am in the process of painting and installing a new floor in the bedroom. The damn cat pissed in the room last night.....little ****!
