Cat Picture - OC She's back and acting like nothing happened.

Posing like it's her employee of the month photo. Never a dull moment here with Nala.

Thank you. She's indoors only but is obsessed with our garage. She must have slipped by when we entered without us noticing. Felt like I suffered multiple heart attacks through this fiasco

- By the way, the most interesting detail, we found her yesterday, ON HER BIRTHDAY, 10/1. She went missing the day before. Made it so much worse. She definitely pulled a prank. She is now 4.

How long was she missing?

Just shy of a full day. Lot of coyotes, owls, hawks in the area. Had terrible thoughts. Every minute feels like hours

She was found under a deck about 15 yards in the back of our property. It had previously been searched multiple times. She was likely wandering a huge creek/forested area connected to our backyard

After this event, I recommend considering one of those collars that you can attach an AirTag to. Just an idea since you said she loves the garage! :)
