David,

Our black cat Megan tried to dothe same thing several times.  Fortunately we 
would catch her each time and take her out.  She's finally quit getting into 
the dryer but stil gets into mischief.

>all the dogs are put up because they chase her.  She doesn't like people
>either.  Yesterday, Sandy asked me if I had seen Amy.  She comes up every
>morning, I wake up about 5 o'clock and come out and sit in a rocking chair
>and listen to the news, and she sits on my lap.  In the evenings, when I
>have prayer sessions on the phone, she comes and sits on my lap then, too.
>I told Sandy that I had not seen Amy for at least two days and maybe three.
>We began looking.  No Amy the cat.  When the grandchildren came home from
>school, they started hunting and found her under our basement stairs.  She
>was clear back as far as she could go and I believe she had gotten trapped
>back there.  We have a bunch of boxes with things stored under the stairway
>and I don't think she could get out by jumping back up on to the boxes to
>crawl out because there wasn't enough clearance.  We spent about an hour
>removing the boxes and never could quite reach her.  Sandy realized she was
>missing because none of her food was being eaten.  The boys put her water
>and food bowls back there for her and when my son came home, he helped us
>clear a path so she could come out on her own.  She was very frightened but
>eventually came out last night.  This morning, when I sat down in my 
>rocking
>chair about 5:30 this morning, she jumped up and laid down on my lap.  She
>enjoyed the petting I gave her, too.  We thank God He helped us find her.
>she was too far back under the stairs for us to have heard her because she
>has a very quiet meow.
