that made me laugh

Not at all unusual in my experience. I've had several cats throughout my lifetime and seem to recall that they have a nack for getting into places (like walls, atticks, basements, hollowed out roots, etc) and then not being able to get out.

I'm pretty sure it was the stink that helped us find at least one of them (albeit, too late...)

"Prizing open the wall"

You win this lovely wall cat!

Approves.

I can absolutely see this happening. Cats are curious animals, and love to climb and explore new areas of the house.

I'm just surprised it took the stupid owners that long to realize their cat was stuck in the wall though. I'm not sure why they would call the police about something like this either. Unless you want someone shot or arrested, the police are pretty useless.

Was the cat one-eyed?

Put another cat in the wall, and it will lead the trapped cat out.

But did they find a cask of amontillado?

It happened in Germany.

The irony is left as an exercise for the student.

The chances of this being the case are very serious...


And dont call me Shirley.

Find my monkey!

I'm thinking the owners were pretty certain the cat was back there but were really hoping it could find another way out. They really didn't want to spend thousands of dollars on demolition and construction (again). Dumbasses..if you've got a new home project going on you've got to cat-proof the area. They'll get into everything.

A good German mind is precise but not adaptable. Every now and then they will put 2 + 2 together and get 5 due to some unusual circumstances they cannot bring themselves to factor in.

Often this factor is their lyin' eyes. The classic story is a German driver in a BMW who sees the bridge out ahead, but drives on because his GPS shows no such thing.

eerie meows? maybe your cat just didn't re-integrate

Ceiling Cat is watching you micturate?

More likely more intelligent builders.

Yeah, or what actually happened--at least confirmation that the cat really was there.

I had this happen once. Cat got up in to the (unfinished) attic and made its way over to the ceiling of a storage area, where it ended up in the wall. Kept hearing an occasional meow, but couldn't track it down for a long time. Finally unscrewed a sheet of the (not mudded) sheetrock from the storage area, and the cat just walked out. A little thin, but otherwise fine.

Cool story bro.

Ok, this is top shelf stupid. Maybe the owners spend too much time at the local haufbrau.

After many years of cat ownership, I've developed the habit of always making sure I can actually lay eyes on my cats whenever I leave the house. More than once I've discovered that I've shut them into a cupboard or spare room or something. I also put bells on them so that I can tell where they are and what they're up to, which has saved them innumerable times from getting stepped on or rolled over by my office chair. They're damned sneaky little cusses.

I have had to remove all wheeled and rocked furniture from my house due to a "I'll sit behind you" cat.

The same cat has teleportation abilities, or at least, can knock a human out from across the room, then revive them, without them noticing... because she gets on my lap without me noticing so all of a sudden, cat! Fast asleep. With me not knowing how she got there.

Cool story bro.

Err, why is that pic named "sexy-poe"?

What's worse, is why did I immediately start thinking of how you'd go about making the Poe's from the Zelda games sexy?

Ah. Your cats have trained you well, having discovered that this hiding behavior is a good way to get your attention.

My cat got stuck in the wall for a week once, so I'm getting a kick, etc.

It was just chasing The Rats In The Walls.

the owners spent four days puzzling over two mysteries - 1) where had one of their three cats got to? 2) Where was that weird clawing sound and faint meowing coming from?
