Lost Cats

Boxes empty and full filling up the entry way.  Furniture leaving piece by piece.  Wrapping paper to lay on and hid under.  What is going on?  For the first time in 7 years, it's time to move.  The three little ones are curious, but they do not know what is coming.  Two enjoy jumping in three foot boxes and out again.  One sniffs, but hangs out in his usual places, watching the antics of Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum, nicknames given to the two mischief makers, known to get in trouble with their curiosity and love of all things that can be batted around.  Then came last Friday.  A trip to the vet for the first time in 4 years.  One cowered, two meowed.  They survived.  Then came yesterday.  What's this?  Are we headed to the vet?  Why is there food in our carriers and a huge ice chunk in a dish?  Where are we going?  The younger two have never been in the car this long at one time.  We arrive.  Our human gives us loves and tells us to be safe.  Unknown adventures take place, and then wait!  Our other human picks us up!  He's been gone again for a week, yet here he is!  Where is he taking us?  Wooh, a place with hardly any furniture to sit on, a new cat scratcher, a new litter box, a water dish, and our old toys?  What is going on?  One cowers behind the window shade, the other two rub the human and explore their new domain.  After the human goes to bed, closing all the bedroom doors and making sure the outside doors are locked, the adventure begins again.  The human can only guess that the Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum climbed up the fireplace chimney, the old one watching waiting at the base of the fireplace, unable or unwilling to follow.  

The felines have been microchiped, but are wearing no tags as they were not allowed to wear collars on their flight out. They are both updated on all their shots. They ran off from Kendall Ridge Apts off of Tamar Dr, Columbia MD, where they arrived last night from Seattle, WA. The apartment manager was going to call the fire station to see if they could put an optic scope down the chimney to see if they are still somewhere in the chimney system and if they can find them.  It is supposed to be 90 degrees out today, 6/17/14.  Please call 425-405-0032 as soon as you find them!  Tomar is the carmel colored cat, and Jeannie is the black cat.
