My indoor kitty found a rip in the fabric of space and time and nearly gave me a heart attack

he has returned though from his quantum travels :)

1. Oh, hell, they do that all the time.

All cats are able to locate portals into other dimensions, and they go there and just hang out and laugh at you while you go nuts trying to find them.

2. At least my needy cats only do that every now and again

But I know no matter what dimension they are in all I have to do is say the magic words " Supper! or Are you hungry!" and they reappear!!!

3. Maybe there isn't any food in those other dimensions.

4. Could he take mine with him next time?

I need a break.

5. They have to take items to pay for passage

Ever wonder about all the un-mated sox in your sock drawer?

17. I thought there was a dryer gnome

6. My cats

rip in the fabric of space and time is under the box spring. They access other worlds through there. They only come home to eat.

7. Interdimensional Kittycat

Graycat.
.
One of two (the other named Blackcat) I took on as catsittees when a
friend of mine got a chance to go for her Master's Degree over in Ireland.
Graycat had been psychologically abused by one of my friend's roommates and
would not come anywhere near anyone voluntarily. Every once in a great while,
I would find myself close enough to slowly reach out and gently stroke her,
which she seemed to luxuriate in until, within seconds, she would realize that
I was within her safe zone. She'd would walk off very quickly. We were together
for over a year when one day, while watching TV, I realized that she had sat
RIGHT next to me on the couch and leaned over against my left upper thigh. She
allowed me to gently love her longtime and continued to take that position
whenever I sat there, although she never got any closer.
.
Big, special moment! HUGE!!
.
She would disappear for hours at a time. Interdimensionally, I was sure. I
would search so thoroughly that I would open the oven door and the fridge...
just to make sure, you know. Nowhere. There was about a 3-foot gap between
the countertop and the upper closets in the kitchen over the breakfast nook.
I was in the dining room and turned on the vacuum cleaner. Through that gap,
I saw her leap STRAIGHT up in the air, use the counter as a springboard to
continue up without a millisecond's hesitation.
.
....She never came back down.
.
Went into the kitchen in disbelief and it took me a minute or so to realize
that one of the ceiling acoustical tiles was slightly out of place. Got a
ladder, moved the tile and stuck my head up and saw her sitting about 5 feet
away in that tiny crawlspace, where she patiently waited for another hour
just to make sure I had made the SCARYMONSTER go away again.
.
. Other disappearance was when I came home from grocery shopping. I had
been home for over an hour and realized that I hadn't seen her. Remembered
that I had left the front door open and unguarded for about 30 seconds while
I put the bags down. I lived adjacent to extensive woodlands and I fully
expected there to be a monumental one-person search in front of me. She had
never, EVER experienced the Great Outdoors before. I thought of Steve Martin
in "Roxanne" and took three cans of tuna and a can opener with me.
.
Gray, miserable, COLD, constant drizzly drizzly COLD day. Five feet from the
front door were two large shrubs. Popped one of the cans in preparation of
roaming the woods and heard her very quiet (embarassed?) meow from the shrub
on the left.
.
An hour-and-a-half of the very first (and, as it turned out, ONLY) freedom
she had ever had in her totally indoor cat life... and she had an adventure
that encompassed all of five feet.
.
Pussy.
.
I miss her.

8. That's adorable.

Thanks so much for the story. I can just hear that embarrased meow from here ;)

[EndersDame]

14. Thank you so much for sharing that story

:)

9. They can make themselves invisible. They are right there,

you just can't see them.

10. LOL, sounds like my mom's cat!

There used to be a tiny, narrow opening between my then bedroom and the basement, which we only discovered because the cat used it as a short-cut!

[EndersDame]

11. I am so proud of him right now he is being protective of the puppy who just got spayed!

Frisky is total coolness(he is my quantum kitty)! the puppy is all out of it and disoriented and accidentally bumped into my other kitty Dax who then tried to swat the puppy but was stopped by Frisky ! Later on when Dax tried to get on the bed and frisky Frisky stopped her! He has been cautiously trying to comfort the pup!

12. He isn't happened to be named Schrödinger, is he?

I always thought of that as a most appropriate name for a cat.

[EndersDame]

13. I knew a cat named Stratavarious

I thought that was a little too fucked up and I generally have a fucked up sense of humor

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. My neighbor has this bumper sticker on his car:

WANTED, Schrödinger's Cat -- DEAD and ALIVE!

16. I lost a kitten that way

Walked through a wall and disappeared totally out of a locked room. Never saw it again. Even checked for a corpse when we were moving.
