So I was truly exhausted by the time I finally got home at 6pm. The cats were out in the screened porch and after the older one came in we wondered where the little kitten was. Looked everywhere and I happened to ask "he's not under the stairs in the porch is he???" Yup, that's where he wedged himself in. Tried to get him out with food, treats, toys, NOTHING!!!!!! I think he was just too afraid to get out of the tight spot. We tried reaching under the stairs (they are cement and have a small crack which is where he got in) but to no avail. We had a flat tire the other day so I suggested the jack which I must say worked brilliantly As soon as the stairs were raised a little he came right out. Darn cat!!!!!! Everyone is safe and sound now and the small gap is all blocked off!!!!!!!!!!! What a way to end the day

The last SDM was just down the street from the 3rd one so I just had to go but wasn't holding out hope as it's closing down in May and moving across the street to it's newly built building but I had to try. I still had another 2 in the area that I was going to try but was so happy that I didn't have to. I was exhausted!!!!! Luckily my wonderful DH had picked me up after my WM shop and took all my stuff home and dropped me off at the 3rd SDM. He's 1 in a million!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
