That would be one dead cat. I took my guy out for a bit and my dog tried to get home let's just say mr doggy won't be near jay again(he got crated for a whole day lol) but cats are the devil!!!! Hope you find him!!!!
I'd take the fake plants out for a while just in case. I have an umbrella tree I picked up from home depot they have a great size variety!! I don't like fake stuff personally.
Hehe hunger strikes. I remember when I as first introducing my veiled to butter worms he was like WTF mate these don't look good. He seems to prefer darker colored feeders.
