i am the worst cat-mom ever.

madeliene got out tonight. and i didn't notice for over a half-hour.
i have no idea where she is. she is an indoor only cat.
i have been waiting on the porch all night hoping she will come back.


Edit: She is back. she was not even out the whole night. we left the door propped a bit and she let herself in and was sleeping upstairs when ross went up at 6. he brought her downstairs and woke me to let me know (wonderful man).
NOW, she is soaking wet and wrapped in a towel in my lap. a night on the town during tick season means a bath for madeliene. with any luck she will associate the two.

I know that feeling. I nearly spazzed out when I found out Doc ran out.
We ended up having the doors open w/ just the screens and having Blue cry out. After an afternoon of rainshowers, our kitty came back.

Don't worry. Madeline will come back when she's hungry. *hugs*

I'm sure she'll be fine. I sympathize though. I've been there.

It only takes a split second for a cat to get out
if they get a mind to. It could of happened to
anyone and does not make you a bad cat mom. I
hope Madeliene comes home soon.

You are not a bad cat mom. Cats get out -- my Apollo got out a few weeks ago. He didn't go far -- just between the neighbor's fence and his shed. So check around the house, close. Indoor cats especially freak out outside (no ceiling!!) and look for closed in shelter, so check anyplace where there's a tucked in place to hide. And bring a can of tuna to lure her back out again.
She'll be fine :)

I'm glad she is back. Unlike my cat escape adventure
you escaped without teeth marks so I would call that
a win. The weasel in this icon is Annie who sank in
deep enough that I have two bite hole discolorations
two months latter.

i got blood drawn by claws on the underside of my boob (through a t-shirt no less!)...but that is because of the bath.

Thank GOD!! I read this when I got up at 4am and knew how worried sick you must have been. Glad you have a crabby wet cat to love :)

GAWD! me too.
she is dry now. and unlike luther, she doesn't hold grudges.
good stuff.

I am glad that I live in the type of apartment building that I do... Our cats, if they do get 'out', just kind of hang out in the hallway with a lot of heavy doors until I walk over, then they run right back into the apartment. Lady Alaethia Marmelade will even get to the point that if someone comes out of their apartment, she will get spooked and run back to the people she knows :) Chloe is just too lazy to leave too often :)
