After days of searching for the source of the noise, she found a very hungry calico cat living in her sofa. Her boyfriend, Chris Lund, was watching TV on Tuesday night and felt something move inside the couch. He pulled it away from the wall, lifted it up and there was the cat, which apparently crawled through a small hole on the underside. Mendenhall contacted Value Village, where she bought the couch, but the store had no information on who donated it. So she took the cat to SpokAnimal CARE, the animal shelter where she works, so it could recover, and contacted media outlets in hopes of finding the owner. Sure enough, Bob Killion of Spokane showed up to claim the cat on Thursday after an acquaintance alerted him to a TV story about it. Killion had donated a couch on Feb. 19, and his 9-year-old cat, Callie, disappeared at about the same time. Poor kitty. Glad she's ok

Last night, someone left the door open and when I went to bed, the big kitteh was asleep on my bed and the babeh kitteh was asleep in my chair. And all night I was wondering where they were. I found out soon enough.

I trained both of my kids a long time ago to make sure that none of our cats gets outside whenever they either go outside or come back inside the house. I can't even imagine not knowing where my cat was "for some time".
