A cat I had years and years ago Shiraz (……sadly, he passed but lived a wonderful and long life with me……) disappeared for about a week. We searched everywhere for days and days. And then one night, he finally showed up!! He was thin and scared and smelled really “musty” - - like the smell of an old garage or shed. So clearly he had gotten trapped or accidentally locked inside. It was SOOOO thrilling to have him back. He still went outside occasionally, but stayed very close to the house and hung out mostly on the back porch.

So YAY Dixie for making your way home!
