necessarily think of as hiding places. Lucky had hidden behind the
china cabinet, under Mom's chair and under the pie chest. One time
when my boys were first with me and very wee I couldn't find them
anywhere. I'd been living in a 435 sq ft apartment!!! I eventually
found the two of them under my little hutch - it has a scrollwork
detail on the front bottom and it had just enough clearance for them to
bear rug themselves under it. Once they squirmed out, I rolled up a
blanket and blocked it. Of course, now that Bandit is 9.5-10lbs and
Smoky is about 17.5lbs, THAT isn't an issue! Check your computer desk
if it has any nooks and crannies a kitty could fit into.

That would include couches and
easy chairs. Our living room chairs do not look like there is anywhere
to go but Gigi Sue found she could get up inside ... of course, she
scooted when we sat down ... but no one every sits on our couch, they
could hide for days there.

Re: Finding Sophie
You've probably already tried a variation on "The Camuti
Method" - named by/for Louis Camuti a fabulous retired veterinarian
from NY. start on one end of house - thoroughly search each room one
at a time and as you finish each room - close it off. Also check for
loose vent covers, are there any walls she could have gotten into?, any
ceilings?, old farm houses have attics, she could have started in there
and ended up somewhere far away in the actual structure of the
building, loose fabric on bottom of box springs - inside the box spring
can be a lovely spot for kitties. Think warm dark quiet places that
just call to kitties not feeling well. behind the water heater,
furnace, wood stove - behind your kitchen stove - someplace she would
feel safe. Using a calm low voice is good too, although the others
will know something is up because they always do, dont' they? :)
sending "come out Sophie" vibes!! and hugs for you:)

Anne,
I'm so sorry Sophie is missing. I go completely out of my mind whenever
I can't find one of my babies, especially if they've been feeling
poorly. I have a wonderful friend, Patricia Schaller, who is a pet
communicator, the link below is to her website. She never charges for
help with lost animals. Whether you believe it's possible, or not,
please give her a call. It can't hurt and it could help. When my bottle
baby, Ursula disappeared for 4 days, Patricia is the one who gave me
hope and helped me get through the ordeal. In fact that's how we became
friends. In any event, I would not do anything that would scare her
further. Try to stay calm and call to her as if she's across the living
room from you. Please let us know if Sophie comes home.
I'm praying for Sophie's safe return and sending you calming energy.
Mu!
ch love,
Nina
