Watch out for your cat!


A cat prefers to stay out of sight as much as possible, especially when there is a lot of stressful stuff going on. He will find a snug spot where he can be more or less unseen such as inside a dark closet. The other day one of mine jumped into a drawer when I opened it and curled up at the back where I could not see her. If I hadn't seen her jump in, I would have closed the drawer without knowing she was there, and she might well have suffocated. Cats have been known to get into washing machines, dishwashers, under cars or even inside car engines, with disastrous results if the owner doesn't notice. So be alert and watch out for them!
