EDIT -- my mistake -- Robocat is 3rd from the left, behind Bear
All the brothers, soon after the ceiling extraction. From left -- Munchkin , Bear, Robocat, Floppy, Tony, and Ivan the Terrible, with his Siberian Tiger coat!

He calmed down in about 1/2 hour when he got in the house, and was purring before going to sleep. This morning he wanted to get right back out there! I always leave the shade on the door up a few inches so they can look out while I'm at work, so during the ordeal, Storm could look in and the other cats saw him out there.

Poor Mikesch - still always with the eyes open and watching! The look on his face in this picture is the one my Kitty WooWoo has now. I hope both of them lose it very soon. But Storm looks perfectly content to let Mikesch stand guard.

Poor baby! And there is no way Mark, that you of all people, are the worst cat guardian! They are sneaky little devils and can scoot by you without anyone noticing in a second. I bet poor little Storm won't be quite so adventurous next time or for quite awhile at least. My own Kitty WooWoo (who is going on 3 weeks without coming in unless I leave the kitty window open and he thinks no one sees him - I have NO clue what happened to bring this behavior on. He seems to have gone back to almost totally feral) anyway - somehow got into the garage and was shut in there for most of a day. I heard him yowling and he almost knocked me over running out. It could have been bad had it been in later in the season here in Texas as we are already seeing some 90 degree days. So hug Storm and his is precious pink nose. I'm sure the other cats have checked him out today as well . . .

Daisy definitely wasn't feral, she was most likely dumped. When she was coaxed onto a ladder under the hole with cat food on it and grabbed, she did one panic run around the apartment, then immediately stopped in front of me and went up on her feet when I cupped my hand over her head, to be petted, and calmed right down. The kittens were all friendly (I found Floppy about a week befor, on the other side of the ceiling, where he left the litter and followed the sounds of creatures he had never seen and started meowing like crazy), and came right to me to be removed a few minutes later.

Cute, cuter, the cutest !!! What a heart-warming pic ! I wish I could adopt kittens right now but I have promised Paulinchen and myself that she can spend her hopefully last years in peace, no stress because of new family members. Since she is deaf she is soooo scared, sometimes she even is afraid of Moritz now..........

Oh dear ! I can imagine that Storm was terrified to be outside alone for such a long time and that you were under shock to find him like this. Poor little Stormy but of course you are not the worst cat guardian ! Things like that shouldn't happen but they can and the most important thing is that everything turned out all right ! I am sure from now on you will do a head count three times before you leave. :) Please give Storm a big kiss from me ! Friends of mine had built an enclosure for their cats very similar to yours, the fence was 2m ( a bit more than 2 yards I think ) high and 3 of their cats escaped almost every day.......If they only want to this height is not a problem for a cat. But it seems that your boys have no intention to leave the secure enclosure and that you are at home always when they are out to keep an eye on them.
