Who doesn't love saving a buck or two or twelve? 
And the cat came back...

I've been singing that song outloud for hours now. LOL
Yes my baby is back. The little brat, I want to strangle his cute furry little neck.
See dh had pulled up the flooring in the bathroom (see earlier "ugh" entry) and while we went to Lowe's (where I'm actually waiting to hear back from the store manager it was NOT a good experience) he forgot to shut my bathroom door. Can you see where this is going?
Yep you guessed it, Page noticed that the subfloor was up and decided to take a field trip underneath our house.
Now in my head I knew there was no way for him to get out from under our house. It's sealed. But still I was freaking out. Page has always been a 100% indoor cat from the time we rescued him at 4wks old. I can count the number of times he's been outside on one hand.
I called him from the bathroom, went outside and got halfway underneath the house through the scuttle hole with a flashlight looking for him. Normally I'll meow at him and he'll meow back and we'll "talk". But nope the little bugger wasn't doing a thing. I thought for sure he had hung himself on something, or had gotten bitten by a poisonous bug and was a goner. I was near tears for most of the night.
I meowed for him for about an hour. Then I had to go with DH to my parents to grab a tool. (DH didn't want to leave me alone so upset) So I laid out some food right by the bathroom. I kinda filled the plate with his food so I'd be able to tell if he came up to eat. We were gone for about a half hour.
Sure enough the little brat came up and ate about half the plate of food and was gone again. But at least I knew he was okay and was under the house. I felt better but I still wanted my baby up from underneath my house.
About 20 minutes after we got back DH is unravelling an extension cord to vacuum up some stuff, and he starts whispering loudly "Valerie, come here, VALERIE COME HERE NOW". I go running and was like "what?". He starts whispering, "cat eating food, came up, grab him". So I sneak around the dresser and snatch him up.
Other than smelling like under the house, and being a bit dirty, he seems to be no worse for the wear. No bites, no missing fur, nothing. He's been busy cleaning himself most of the night so I think he's cleaned up and even the smell's starting to go away.
Although I must add, he keeps trying to go back into our bedroom to get back under the house. Let me tell you that is NOT happening again if I can help it.
I'm happy to have my kitty kitty meow meow back. I really was worried about him.
