On the way out to Mom's car, I heard a very loud meow. I stopped in my tracks and looked around. I couldn't see a cat anywhere, but the yowling was the sound of a cat in trouble. So I put my purse down and started searching and calling. I finally found the cat underneath the sidewalk/step. In the summertime, a cat can get in and out of there easily. But the snow and ice had filled up all the ways a cat might escape. A woeful orange cat stared up at me from a deep crevice. It was Garfield, the young cat from two houses down the road. "YOWWWWWWLLL!" screeched Garfield before ducking away.
Mom and I looked around to find a way where he could get out, but none was to be found. We called him back to the gap, hoping to grab him and yank him out, but Garfield doesn't like to be picked up and ran back beneath the concrete. So we went over to the garbage hut and found some cardboard. Mom rolled it up into a thick tube, then used my buck knife to carve ladder-like rungs into it. We propped it in the crevice at an angle where he'd be able to scramble up without much difficulty.
We drove off to do our errands. About an hour later we returned. We called and called, and the vocal Garfield didn't answer. I hope it means he already left.
