Vexing Kitty

A year ago  today, I wrote about the talent my cats have for finding inconvenient places to sleep. It's kind of funny this was happening last year, because today, Rhiannon decided to get stuck under one of the pieces of furniture in my bedroom. The area under it is so narrow we didn't think a cat could manage to get there, but as these are our weird cats, they found a way.

This maybe wouldn't have even been a problem if Rhi was younger, but she's old now and has hip issues. Her hips started to ache while she was down there and this set off a series of hell-yowls. My roommate was worried she couldn't get out and theorized he could pull her out by removing the lowest drawer. It was a good idea, except the lowest drawer has a back and bottom under it. It also had a dirt dobber nest, but that's been removed.

Finally, she made it out on her own. We moved some stuff around the opening so she can't get in there any more. This will piss her off, but it's better than going through this drama again. Sometimes blockades are the only way to deal with cats.
