I am most upset. I haven't been able to find Cheeto for FOUR hours now and I'm very worried! He went to the Baby Dr. yesterdays and joined the "clippers club" and *he* is now an *it* :-). He was a sweet little boy to begin with but being neutered has made a difference in just one day. This morning, he climbed in my lap, started to purr and "snurf", circled his wagons and lay down and went to sleep! He's never done that before, always scrunching down behind the computer monitor to have his naps. I have been upstairs doing laundry all morning. When I went downstairs to feed the kitties their morning treat of canned food, I called all the kitties telling them it was time for "can-can". As I opened the cans of food, all three girls were there meowing and acting as if they were starved (I was late feeding them). I was surprised that Cheeto wasn't there as he is usually there before any of the girls! I went all through the house calling him but he never showed up. After an hour of searching, I called DH and HE even came home to help look. There really is no way he could have gotten outside. All of the window screens are closed tight. I checked the screen room and none of those screens are loose. All of the door leading outside are tightly closed. We have searched *every* closet several times even though they were not opened. We checked behind every piece of furniture and all appliances, checked on top of all shelves and furniture. Looked up under the fabric that covers the bottom of sofas, beds, etc. We have looked in, on, around and under everything we can find but there is STILL no sign of him. I have had cats my whole life and I KNOW all the tricks they can pull and places they can hide. THAT is why I am so upset. When a kitten who LOVES canned food doesn't come out of hiding for that food, it's time to worry! So, I have been saying my prayers to St. Frank all morning and decided to ask everyone here to send "good stuff" so that Cheeto will come out of hiding and I won't have to worry anymore. I have NO IDEA what has happened. A kitten just doesn't disappear for four hours and ignore canned food. I also have NO IDEA how he could possibly have gotten outside so I'm **almost** positive he is in this house somewhere. I just hope he's not gotten hurt somehow! I'll let everyone know if and when he turns up as I am sure he will if you guys "help". Thanks & CiaoMeow >^;;^<
