At least your cat is back. It's not like, oh, this lady who didn't notice her cat climbed into a box of DVD's she was mailing, and mailed her cat away:
I was watching an old film tonight and a scene with a lot of cats came up. Normally my Füb wouldn't react to 'cat noises' from the tv, but tonight she was all there and watching the film with me... well for a few minutes anyway.
^It's a lie-in cat-cinema... just glad I didn't have anything edible or breakable on the table when this happened.
See if your cats respond to this. My girl cat runs out, climbs on my lap and on the desk to see what's making all that noise. The male isn't impressed by too much, but looks around if he's handy.
As I sat on the couch, playing with my new phone, Junior took the opportunity to remind me it was supper-time.
He's perfected the art of getting right in our faces when it's any time remotely close to dinner-time.
