A curious cat can so easily become a trapped cat. We can;t always go where they will go, to look. Don't think I'm kidding when I say that the next kitteh I go calling for will find me wearing a hearing-enhancer to hear it's weak mew of reply. These can be had way-cheap at any WalMart type store. In a pinch I've used the mic on my MP3 recorder, sometimes, that way-- set it on record and then wear the earbud, and you can hear so much more.
