Places my cat has been...

[YoureAllABunchOfBastards]

In the dishwasher
On the banisters
On top of the wardrobe
In the fridge
Under the bedclothes
In the bath

He just missed going down the toilet this morning

One week and my heart rate still hasn't settled. I do love him but god, he's barmy.

In the fridge?! Haha!
Is he a new cat?
Mine comes back in the evening smelling vaguely oily - I think he curls up in a workshop all day, I'd love to know where!

Up the chimney (Firstcat)

Gawd knows where but he was gone for two months (Secondcat)

Correction - it was Thirdcat who went AWOL.

On the garage roof x1000000. I have to get a patio chair for her to jump onto and lower her down like a cat lift. Every time.

Sounds like he's settling in nicely Youre, just check the washing machine every time you switch it on.

On top of the wardrobe
In the wardrobe
On the curtain pelmet
In the fridge (and once dragged a joint of ham out of it)
Up and down the trees and conifers in the garden
On the roof (bungalow)
Over on the fields (for hours at a time)

No wonder he sleeps all night (at the foot of the bed, on my side, and sometimes under the duvet when its cold)

Er - Sparkling - why don't you just let her stew once or twice?

If this was on Relationships, you'd be (justifiably) accused of enabling!

I know cozie. DH thinks I am bonkers. He says 'Sparkling Cat is on the garage roof again she wants to play the 'patio chair lift game'.

He says she could get down by herself no problem he is possibly right.

Let's add 'tiptoeing across the top of the door and getting stuck' to that list.

And in the sink so many times that DH turned the tap on and wet his little paws...

One of my cats spends most of his time at the biscuit factory across the road id love to know what he does their

Ooh I can add 'behind the washing machine when the repair man pulled it out'. She came out with cobweb dreadlocks hanging off her face and trailing on the floor.

Mine had a good sniff around inside the dishwasher the other day, plus he's obsessed by the gap when you lower the door. One day he'll lose a paw doing that.

Nothing like your cat doing something dangerous to bring out the inner fishwife in you.

If cats were people they would be unbearable. they always have to know what you are doing, always want to look in whatever you are looking in. Like a really clingy stalky friend.

Male cat has decided he does like visitors in the house, even if its our visiting son or daughter and makes a sharp exit and will not come back in till they've gone

The other night we had someone sleep over on the sofa so cat stayed in our bedroom and on realising in the morning he couldn't get to the back door without going past the sofa he sat on the bed and meowed until I picked him up, carried past the lounge, into the kitchen and put him next to the back door when he happily went out

I accidentally shut DramaKitten in the fridge once . Fortunately, the plaintive mewing alerted me after a few minutes...

DramaCat's favourite place to sleep used to be the highest shelf in the airing cupboard. Now he's old & arthritic he can't get up there any more, but he can manage the ladder up to DS's bunk bed. He can't get down though - has to mew for help!

Both my cats were fond of the dishwasher when they were little, and one had to be booted across the floor when he threatened to jump in the oven - I had my hands full of casserole, he was doing the pre-jump bum-wiggle, and I hurriedly decided a light kicking was better than jumping in an oven (he was fine). They each fell off the landing as kittens - modern house fortunately, so only about 8 feet.

They've both secreted themselves in the divan bed, by jumping in an open drawer and then out of the back of it. One got trapped in DD's wardrobe for an entire day, and although I was in all day he was so quiet he didn't get rescued until DD went in for clean pyjamas. Fairly recently, despite being positively middle-aged now, one followed me into the loft and had to be rescued in his carrier - cats can't climb DOWN ladders ...

On top of the wardrobe
in the wardrobe on top of clothes hangers
In the electrician's van
on the roof
on net door's electric meter so the cats who live next door can't
on Norman's wheelie bin
on Ginger's chest (neighbour) for an afternoon nap
In various boxes
In the kitchen cupboards (she is not allowed in the kitchen)
on the dishwasher - I didn't see her, she left fluffy evidence
on the shed roof
through the fence at the back until the dog sees her when she retreats to just this side of the fence so the dog can see but not touch her
On top of open internal doors
under the laptop (it's on a stand and it's warm)
On the corner of the bath, curled into a ball if I am having a long soak
in the laundry basket (with and without clothes)
hanging from the bamboo blind after climbing to the top

I'm sure there are more

I have a loft bed. My last foster cat could get up there with ease via the windowsill but when it came to getting down we developed a routine whereby I'd stand by the bed in a stooped-over posture, and she would hop onto my back to be gently lowered groundwards.

She loved sitting on people's shoulders, but you had to watch her as she'd use that as a launchpad to try and reach unsuitable areas like the tops of open doors.
