Danger Boy!! Strikes Again!

jadecatSo Saturday the hubby and I went out to breakfast and then did a little shopping- when we got home neither of the cats met us at the door, which is odd. I headed back towards the bedroom and discovered that the screen to our bedroom window had popped out. The screen was lying on the ground outside the apartment- have I mentioned we live on the third floor? So yeah, it's a long way down.
Sasha was found in the apartment, but we couldn't find Leo any where. So hubby and I spent the next several hours looking for him under cars, up in trees, asking every person we saw if they had seen him- we split up, and were on our cellphones keeping the other updated (and to prevent searching the same space). Getting more and more hot, sweaty, and worried as time went on. Finally we were too hot to continue, hubby's ankle was bugging him, we had to call some friends to cancel on them (no way was I going out for an indeterminate length of time when my kitty-boy was missing! Hubby agreed.), and we needed to make up lost cat signs. It was very not good.
Signs were made (making me glad I had current pics of the boy on the computer so as to put on the sign) and hubby, Kyle and I went back out to put them up around the apartment complex- oh and I brought out the Pounce since Leo normally comes running when he hears it. So we trooped around again, calling for him, shaking the Pounce can, and ended up in front of the apartment when I thought I heard a meow. Turned out to be Sasha calling too us from inside. Apparently she was perfectly fine with Leo not being around and was grumpy that she heard the treats and couldn't get to them!
So we're standing by the parking lot when Kyle got fascinated by this parked car. He was shoving his nose in the wheel well, trying to crawl under it, and wouldn't come away from it when called. It was weird behavior for him, and so I got down to look under the car- no Leo. We tried to get Kyle away, but he was just obsessed with this car. I, being a silly human, was still looking around and shook the Pounce can some more, ears straining to hear a meow over the wind (it was a really windy day)- and Hubby saw him!
Leo crawled out from the underside of the car that Kyle had been obsessed with! I had looked under the car- but he was up in the body of it somewhere. He was also very panicked and was purring his fool head off when I picked him up! Kyle found Leo for us. :) Kyle got lots of treats for finding the kitty-boy.
Then of course we had to put Leo upstairs, after giving him a number of cuddles, and then go back and collect all the Lost Cat signs we'd put up... But Leo's home safe and sound- not at all hurt by the three story drop. Not only was Leo not harmed by the little stunt, he was back on that window sill later that night pawing at the glass (we weren't foolish enough to leave it open!). I'm guessing he wanted to go wind surfing again... That's my Danger Boy!!
