Yeah... being realistic sometimes is the pits, but I can relate. Since you put food and water out though, I am still holding out a teeny tiny hope for a miracle!

That's hard to believe! I'm sure the cats wouldn't have eaten all the feathers so he's got to be somewhere! Please don't give up yet!

I wouldn't think so, only because cats can squeeze into pretty tiny openings so if that was the case of Lenny crawling behind something I would think the cats would have persued and you would see evidence of that. It would not hurt to move all furniture out a bit and look. Sometimes furniture has no opening on the sides or front but do in the back. Good luck, I hope you find him soon!

I still have my fingers crossed for poor little Lenny, and for Sylvester too.
Praying for a positive outcome in your search for Lenny.
Did you try the blacklight????
That day with the peeps had to be close...

Oh, I won't, trust me. This has all been surreal, like he vanished in thin air.

I have been using the UV light, all over the house. I have moved the piano, furniture, and now am looking in rooms that I know the doors were closed that day.
I have one open vent at the top in one of my downstairs rooms, but I can't see him flying that far, that high, or going into a place that was blasting out cold air.

Thank you.
That is what is unnerving about this situation, the cats are not circling anything. I am not even seeing any evidence to suggest that Lenny ever existed.

This is nutty, I'm sure - but for some reason I wondered if you checked under the piano lid where the strings are? @Sylvester

No, it's not nutty at all. These little guys can hide anywhere and that's what is so maddening about this whole situation. Thank you, I will look.

Have you checked inside your shoes? Coat pockets?

Heavy coats are stored away, shoes have been checked.
I am going to be honest, (mainly to myself) the fact that the cats are not acting riled up is a sign, and not a good one. They have far superior hearing to humans and have even detected mice behind the walls, while I heard nothing.
But at the same time if he is gone, they would not hesitate to circle his body or even play with it, so I am not exactly counting him out just yet.

Do you think he could've made it outside?

I don't see how he could have made it to the outside. It was a five in the morning when I noticed gone and all doors to the outside were shut and locked. The three fireplaces are closed up, and my windows were down that morning.
But anything is possible at this point.

Two family members are staying with me until August, but they sleep with their doors shut, as do I. The other bedrooms are closed up.
I have checked under chair and couch cushions, and even considered taking one of my couches apart. I am paranoid to sit down.
