apparently you didn’t spell his name correctly.

Try the can opener.

Must be their first cat. We didn’t see one of ours for three days once. My husband went out one last time to call him, and heard him answer from inside a neighbor’s storage building. They had been in there three days before. How many times did we walk close to that shed, calling him, in those three days?! And he was mad at us when he got out!

When it wants something, it’ll find you

we had a cat that when ever I called her name and said I had to tell her something she would come to me

Studies have shown that cats recognize their names. They just can’t be bothered.

Is that a ‘Hot Tin Roof’?

We had lost cat up at cabin. Kept calling for him, kept hearing meow.

Kept running around and around, finally looked up.

Way up on tree next to cabin.

Is it too early for “Up on the House Top?”

I have roof cats.

Ollie ollie oxen free! Come and get me!!!

This makes me too sad to press the “like” button.

If a cat can see you, he assumes you can see him. I used to walk my cats in the redwoods for a couple of hours a day. If Johnny Depp were a hundred yards away in a bush, he would give me an “answer up” meow right away. If he were five yards away in the open, he would sit there and wonder if I had gone blind. Of course, as a camouflaged tabby in low forest light, he was amazingly hard to see. Eventually, he would take pity on me and move an ear or something. It is absolutely uncanny to see a cat “break camouflage” right at the spot where you have been looking for five minutes.

Obviously this is the first day he has ever had a cat.

Tony Carrillo draws cute cats as well as cute women.

MEOW kitty! MEOW like your life depends upon it.

We had a cat that, when still young, got stuck up a tree. This cat NEVER meowed. So we spent all day looking for him until we finally looked up into the correct tree.

Actual spit-take here!!!
