thank you all. i had hoped i could watch the cat AKA 'snake radars', but they haven't been interested in any particular spot. at the moment, one cat is snoring under my desk at my feet. the other is stretched out behind me napping. they're always in the room i'm in and don't gravitate toward any one spot. (the 3rd cat is my husband's outdoor cat).
last night, i constructed a trap for him. a simple cardboard box with one hole large enough for him to get through. on the inside of the hole i taped a flap that would open as he went in and close tight so he couldn't get back out. on the inside, i had his log hide and a pinkie mouse. underneath i attached a small heating pad. then i put it in the front room where he escaped from against the wall.
he escaped in the front room. the only furniture in there was the three reptile tanks, two end tables that sit flat on the ground, my china cabinet (that has foot high legs) and an entertainment center with the tv, vcr, dvd player and a wii attached. the only hiding place in that room is the entertainment center. i've looked under it, inside the vcr, and all around the electrical cords. no loki.
walking off that room is my girls' room. they have a 6 drawer dresser. one drawer was open so i emptied it. no loki. i've unmade the beds. no loki. i emptied the toy box. no loki. i emptied two unpacked boxes. no loki. and i checked in the closet, between all the clothes, in shoes. still no loki.
going toward the back of the house from the front room is an empty hall. hardwood floor. one tiny box, checked. and my secretary desk, checked. two rooms exit off the hallway. an office and the master bedroom. office... we checked under bookcases, behind books, under the recliner (flipped it upside down). emptied boxes. no loki. master bedroom... i've checked closets, clothes, clothes hamper, under dressers, unmade the bed, emptied boxes, looked in shoes. no loki. (also checked the bathroom off there).
here's where the problem starts....
