I have to apologize to my Oscar. :-) I was vacumming my bedroom yesterday, and I knew Oscar was asleep in the box under the bed. I was merrilly vacuuming up all the scattered bits of (clean) litter that I had spilt some weeks ago, and I thought it was odd that Oscar wasn't poking his nose out of the entrance to the box. Some time after I saw a tail poking out from under the bookcase. I called but it didn't move; so I gave the tail a tug and it twitched. There he was, in a squeezy little space, where he normally would not go. He must have scuttled out of the top of the box and away, being frightened of the noise. I obviously don't vacuum often enough. Regards Sandra, Clover, Princess, Oscar and Gemma-the-cat [Posted in FML issue 4047]
