By the way he was inside the cupboard in the garage - he has a good facility for opening doors which do not have a latch to hold them closed. These doors were spring loaded so they closed behind him. I think he could have pushed them open but when he is in a strange place he likes to find a dark spot to hide in. The bottom of the cupboard was full of folded clothes and he had made a space at the back of them to hide in and stay warm. Seems that on Saturday he made some noise and was discovered. He did not lose too much weight - maybe one pound in 5 days.
I smile everytime I think of his happy return!!! I have told our two kitties, (Mikey, Harry and Hershey) that he is home safe and they purred loudly.
