Dear Neighbor, My cat is stuck in your garage

Yes.  It’s absolutely a true statement.  It’s 11:30pm and for the past hour I have been trying to figure out how to get my cat out of the garage next door.  I’ve rang the doorbell to both apartments numerous times and no one is answering, although every single light in the upstairs apartment is on.  I’m feeling very anxious and sad because I can hear him crying and it’s making me tear up

I really have no idea what to do.  I’ve tried to pick the lock, with a nail file and paperclip and also with my air miles card and I’ve tried to push open the big sliding door but it’s locked tight.  There’s not even a little hole for him to squeeze out.  This is the absolute worst feeling and I don’t know what to do and I’m all by myself.

I think he’s just going to have to stay in the garage all night.  He has an eye infection too and needs to get his drops.  I feel like the worst mother in the world right now.

And on TV right now is the freakin Sham Wow guy hawking the Slap Chop and Graty.  He can’t even cheer me up and I can get not one, but two of each right now.

This is my favourite picture of Harley.  I wish he was here.

Update: It’s 1:30am and Chad is home now and he called a locksmith to come.  Harley is meowing non-stop and it’s such a sad meow.

Update 2: 2:00am the locksmith came, opened the door and $120 later Harley is home, had some dinner and a drink, got his medicine and is curled up ready for bed.  Such a bad cat!
