Meanwhile I’m about to have a heart attack.

There are no gods here.
OTHER THAN ME.
Bastet sometimes demands tribute in the form of amusement.
My cat used to absolutely vanish for hours; I would search every conceivable spot a cat could get into and not find her. Then she would nonchalantly wander into whatever room I was in without a care in the world. This happened even after I moved two different times. I finally concluded that she was just an extra-dimensional being that didn’t want to spend all its time in my dimension.
Then one day I was looking for her under my bed and I noticed a slight sagging of the fabric on the underside of the box spring. I poked it and sure enough she gave a slightly annoyed meow. A small corner of the fabric had come loose years before and she had just been crawling up into the box spring the whole time.
Tbf, just because you observed her that one time, doesn’t discount the possibility of being an extra dimensional being.
I like to think that since she’s not in my dimension any more.
😿 Sorry for your loss
been there.
now I just run around like a maniac barking like a mad dog if they don’t come out after 5 minutes.
what is it with cats that they think they’re so much better than us
If I say my orange’s name in the other end of the house, he comes running to me yowling along the way.
The only thing I’ve figured out is that he recognizes that I’m not closeby him and he panics lol.
If he doesn’t come and I can’t find him, I know he’s sick or stressed. Only happened a handful of times over the past 13 years. If I’m away for a few days and he’s got a sitter, that is usually the biggest trigger.
He really needs a companion cat, but thats hard at 14.
Lenny usually comes right away if you call his name, he’s more of a dog than a cat, he just felt like being a jerk this time.
signature look of superiority
Eh cats don’t run away, if they do they usually come back eventually anyways but yeah … Every single cat owner has had that experience. I know I have!
I just learned eventually that you have to trust the cat is somewhere in the house playing hide and seek really well. They’ll show back up for meals or treats. My cat always wanted to go outside but when given the opportunity she often changed her mind and just stayed in. Or when she was outside she stuck close to the door and went back in with me.
I have two cats that are scared of adventure and one that would love to climb trees and jump fences and fight raccoons. He would absolutely “run away” and get himself in trouble he couldn’t get out of.
Welcome to at least once a month for the rest of your shared natural lives. It’s their duty to keep you on your toes.
That happens pretty often with my partner. She’ll be all “I have the door open for 2.3 seconds, did he run away?!” and search for an hour.
Thing is, our cat is very afraid of the outside; he just likes to hide out in cupboards and closets a lot. I seem to be the only one who can find him though.
