Strangest thing happened yesterday. We went to the Corral yesterday and when we came home, I couldn't find the kitten, Jim. We looked all over and since there is a way to get under the house to a crawl space which is way behind the furnace, we thought that was where he was. We had another cat that used to go down there until we fixed the door to the furnace room so it would stay closed better. Well, DH left it open for some reason so we wait, and waited for him to come back. DH looked all around and called out doors too in case someone might have let him out. Well, no kitty and I went to bed just knowing that I would never see him again. I admit, tears came and DH felt himself to blame. This morning was sad to wake up without him.
I was sitting here at my computer when I heard a bumping noise from my DH's desk which is back to back to mine. I thought at first it was Jasper, our older cat. I went around to investigate, opening drawers and when I got to the last one, there Jim was and mighty glad to see me.
The drawer was left open, he jumped in and by wiggling around and the drawer on a wheel base, he managed to close himself in. He didn't cry, that is the funny thing and we figured he had to have been in there about 14 hours. He was very hungry and thirsty. Crazy thing, huh?
