Thought I'd post this story for everyone's amusement.
When I moved into my rental house in Parker two years ago, one or two of my cats made forays into the unfinished walls of the house via the laundry room. I did my best to keep them out and was finally successful, but during the most terrifying escapade, my long haired Mitzi was missing for hours. I called and called. I put out tasty wet food. No luck. I heard her rustling around in the walls on the second floor and I burst into tears. I thought for sure I'd lose her forever.
She finally did emerge, in the late afternoon, as if nothing unusual had happened.
Sometimes they just come out.
But if a bunch of people are knocking on the walls and calling and making a big ruckus, no chance. The cat will stay hidden in the dark place out of self-protection.
