I have shut a cat in a closet from time to time. Once when I worked 12 hour shifts my old girl was shut in my closet for almost 14 hours. She had to go while she was in there, and used my laundry basket. I was thankful she didn't use my shoes. And current girls have been shut in my sewing room for an extended period. They chose an out of the way spot to relieve themselves. Now I am uber careful when I shut the door to the sewing room to locate the kitties.

We've had a couple of the outside cats slip into the crawl space when we weren't watching and then get closed up. But, thankfully, we can hear them yowling inside the house so as soon as they decide they've had enough and want out they can just "turn up the volume".

Hope you had a litter box sitting in that room . Twelve hours is a LONG time .

So sweet.

“Clean up in Room two.”

I've seen mine do a jail break when someone gets locked in a closet (they are the slider type.

I'm really cautious now about doing a head count before I leave the house. lol

Awwwe, sweet kitty all alone.

I've had similar situations where one cat was locked in a room too long. Then I got home, another cat made sure I knew someone was locked up. They weren't all huggy kissy though. I think the one cat just wanted to point out that I had erred.

Poor kitty!!!

Kittie's hate being left out of ANYTHING!!!!!!
