This weekend was move in weekend.
I went to GR and worked like a dog on Friday in preparation for the BIG day.
Oh boy, was it a BIG day too.
We left dad's around 10pm and arrived back on Sat morning around 7am to start again.
The mover's arrived at 8am and the fun began.
We got all the stuff my dad needed to live moved into his apartment.
It was a LOT of work.
Even with the paid professionals, but he is in and he is happy.
I had to bring his cat home with me to get her shots and to get her declawed.
We ended up home around 11:30 at night.
In the pouring rain.
I stopped to buy a brand new litter pan and brought her food.
I carried the cat in her carrier upstairs and shut the bedroom door, filled her food and water dishes, prepared the litter pan and headed off to bed without further thought about her.
I heard some scratching around midnight but just ignored it.
My mistake.
Stupid cat found a smallish hole we had cut in the drywall and crawled into the ac duct work.
How do I know where she is?
Because I dropped my camera in and snapped this photo. GAH!!!
I need her to come out and all she is doing is staring at the hole into the bedroom.
I have smelly cat food and tuna fish in the room trying to lure her out.
I have no way to get her but to let her come out on her own.
The bedroom is on the second floor and I can't get to the duct to take it apart without cutting a hole in my ceiling or in my floor and still not guarantee I could bust though the duct work without her going down that hole you see the wires going into
(although that goes straight down).
Any suggestions?
I am considering calling animal control.
Maybe they can take a pole with a loop on it or something and lasso her?
I have no idea, just feel sick, and stupid and terrified that she will not come out and die in there
and then what will I tell my dad???
Well, I can't do this much longer.
My emotional health is stretched pretty thin at the moment.
Add another straw please and hope the camel can deal.
UPDATE:
The cat has come out of the duct.
The duct is now blocked by several layers of "stuff"
including a very heavy box.
So unless she develops super cat powers
I think it is safe to say she is not going back into the duct.
Thanks for your concern!!
