It’s Raining Cats

Laurence of This Blog is Full of Crap posts a story about a cat boarded up in a floor accidentally. I had something similar happen to me once ….

About a year or so ago, some friends asked my wife and I to baby-sit their cats while they were travelling. They were putting out food, so this mainly involved showing up and playing with them and petting them every other day or so.

The house was under renovation. They were replacing the plaster over lathe walls with wallboard, and moving some things around, including wiring. As a result, there were holes in the plaster walls in a number of places.

We showed up and found all 3 cats. We pet and played with them and were getting ready to leave, when we noticed that we were short a cat! We lost our friend’s cat!

We searched upstairs. We searched downstairs. Finally, we decided to use the usual ruse – sit very quietly in the living room until the cats came to be sure that we were gone. We sat. Cat #1 appeared and joined us. Cat #2 appeared and joined us.

Suddenly, a cat head popped out of the hole in the ceiling. It was hysterical – just like a Japanese anime cat – the head came through and then the ears popped up at once. Once we started moving to get the cat, he disappeared back into the ceiling.

We trooped upstairs, and determined that we could get to him through a crawlspace. This was a VERY old house – the space between floors was almost a foot. We reached in but failed to grab him, and he crawled back into the pipes and wires.

We ended up going back downstairs and I stood on a chair. We again got very quiet. He poked his head out of the hole, but we didn’t move. He reached down to the next hole in the wall and jumped to the nearby shelf. We grabbed him and put him down.

After looking around for a while, we determined that we couldn’t patch ALL of the holes, so we gave up. He probably continued going in and out of the wall all week.

When my friends returned, we told them the story and they got a chuckle. They said not to be upset – he’d been doing that for weeks!
