Well now I really need vibes. I came home from work earlier and went upstairs to freshen her food bowl. She wasn’t in the room! I looked everywhere, but the room is small and there is little places to hide. Nothing seemed amiss until I moved a small stack of books and saw the panel- it had been pushed up and broke. The access to this small cubbyhole is directly into the attic. One place NONE of my cats are allowed to go, because once in the attic, it is an easy escape to the roof and then outside.

I can see that she has indeed gone outside There is black and white fur at the one access hole by the attic fan. As large as she is, she managed to squeeze through the hole and escape!

I can’t look for her right now. It is wild wind and rain. I can only hope she is under the house or close enough and will come out soon. I will set traps tomorrow. Our home borders the woods, and if she gets into there, I hate to think. Not having claws she has little protection. Poor kitty, she must be so scared. But it is dark and rainy and a thorough search won’t be possible till morning.

The only thing I can think is she must have jumped into the cubbyhole to hide- it is shaped like a triangle and she wedged herself down into it. A smaller kitty wouldn’t have been a issue, but she is huge. her size must have dislodged the panels and off she went.
