I once had to get the fire brigade to release my DGD from a bedroom so I know exactly how you feel kitty. They had to get in through a velux window. It's a long story, I'll tell it one day.

I shouldn't laugh, but I did giggle at the pictures in my mind of what you just went through trying to get the door open - no wonder you're so shaken! Your DGC will probably think what happened whilst they slept is funny and you've made a memory to laugh about in years to come! You'll both probably sleep for a week when they're gone! grin

I would be a wreck too kitty, the thought of a cat locked in a room with a sleeping child shock

Or even a jibbering one.

I've got a friend who talks in abbreviations - she would be saying "What an N-MARE"!

When I read about the "little black face" I thought one of the children had got into the shoe polish blush

I'd also be a gibbering wreck.

The DGC by the way!

Oh Kitty nightmare! The first time they had a sleepover I lay rigid all night!!
I don't have them much due to health problems which is awfully sad

We had a cat that did that too ,sounds like you had a scare. Hope the children are tucked up fast asleep.

Oh, that brought back memories of a couple of our cats, kitty! They do seem to think they can 'dig' themselves out, don't they? grin

Glad all was well in the end...

Dd2 and her family are here this weekend so she can take her DH somewhere special tonight for their wedding anniversary while we have the children. DGD2 goes to bed in the room her parents use while her younger sister goes in a cot in the children's room. At 10.00 we went to move the older one to a bed in the same room as her sister.

Panic!!! We couldn't open the bedroom door and nor could we work out why. We shoved and pushed, wondering if there was a DGD asleep behind the door. We tried calling her name but quietly so as not to scare her. Then, a little black face appeared in the crack in the door and it dawned on us that the cat had been shut in with Dgd and then picked the carpet from the gripper rod in an attempt to get out. It took 2 rulers and a screw driver to manoeuvre the carpet into a position where we could open the door over the plucked carpet.

I am now a jibbering wreck!!
