Help me! I think I'm falling...

 Time for a little Fall cleaning!  

We have a loveseat size sofa in the living room which opens up to a remarkably comfortable twin size bed.  The sofa itself is very sturdy, but the removable cover we put on it to protect it from the cats needed to be washed.  So did the sheets and pillowcase hidden within.

In the afternoon, 4 clowns were asleep on our bed and Missy Tee was sleeping in the dining room. Lupo had been on the hassock but when we started fussing around he disappeared.

We attacked the sofa, I got the pillow and took off the pillowcase.  Then I removed the sheets. My husband had an upholstery flea deterrent and applied that. (Just a precaution)

Then he began folding up the sofa again, which is all one piece, so you just lift and voila!

Immediately we heard an ear splitting MEEEEEEEOOOOOOOW!!!!!  Followed by that second that feels like a minute as your brain tries to catch up with what just happened.  MEOW, MEOW, MEEOOOW!!

OPEN IT!!!!!

Somehow, Lupo, the little sneak, had gotten himself somewhere inside and we had no idea!  

We opened it and out he ran.  LUPO!!!  LOOP!!! I went after him to make sure he was alright (the sofa, though small, is VERY sturdy and heavy). I caught up with him and picked him up.  He was not at all interested in being in my arms, but I was able to quickly check his legs to make sure nothing was broken.

Back in the living room, I noticed that the pillow that has a storage pocket inside the sofa, was still out.  We had forgotten to put it back.  I think that is what saved him since it gave him just a little bit of room and thank goodness, Lupo is a small cat.

An hour and a half later, the little jerk was back in my lap.  All is well in the clown car.
