14. We had a cat

who was missing for about 5 days. She was stuck inside an old evaporative cooler stored on the side of our house. She didn't start meowing or answering our calls until she was desperate to get free. Our 60+ year old neighbor told us that a cat had been trapped in a garage for about a week, while the homeowner was away. So we asked all our neighbors if they had seen our cat, walked calling her name to no avail. The whole time she was sitting in an old rusty box not making a sound. On our street, we all have detached garages, so it would be really easy for a cat to get trapped in one. Good luck.
