Cats are great at disappearing. Through the years, I can't tell you how many times I have torn my house apart, looking for one of my cats, and often not finding them during that episode of hysteria. I've run wild eyed through my neighborhood, calling their name at the top of my lungs. They always turn up, asleep in the laundry hamper, or like Carys, in their bed. It's what they do.
