Mia can be dramatic

Earlier this week, I kept hearing meows resonating throughout the walls.  I figured one of the girls got trapped.  After finding Nala relaxing in the living room underneath a large, plaited palm blanket, I knew it was Mia calling or sounding off.  Every time I went downstairs, the meowing stopped.

After a couple of hours of searching in all the usual places, I searched the unusual. Still no Mia! Yet, the meowing still came.  I finally located her behind the laundry utility access ports.  Access to this declivity had been made restricted (blocked off with lengths of wood) after Nala hid there earlier. So, I did not think to look there.  The only reason I found Mia was that she kept meowing long enough for me to locate her.  A partial log of my interrogation of the Cat-Of-Interest is presented below.



Here is my considered opinion and conspiracy theory:
Mia must have been shown the hideaway by Nala OR Mia was forced to hide there Nala. 

To get back there, Mia had to have jumped up onto the washing machine and then down again behind my wood barrier.

Once back there, Mia must have decided it was not worth it, and so she started here sonic volleys.

Why?  Because cats are dramatic!

Epilogue: Mia is Feline Fine!!!  I removed the man-placed barrier in the laundry, and Mia came out at her own time and pace for her kabibbles.  I have not seen Mia in that space since.
