When I moved to Mexico, I stayed in a small apartment in Puerto Vallarta with windows overlooking the ocean. It was in an old, four-story Mexican-style building. I loved that view. Then one morning, all I could think about was where my cat Coco had gone.
The morning Coco went missing
I’d had a friend over the night before. At some point I shut the windows without realizing Coco was still on the balcony. When I woke up, I couldn’t find her anywhere in the apartment. That’s when I realized I’d accidentally shut her outside.
I found her in the basement
Luckily, Coco was wearing a reflective breakaway collar with an AirTag in its holder. The AirTag gave me somewhere to look in the building. I found her hiding in the basement, scared. I was so relieved to see her again.
It was a simple mistake, and one that stayed with me. If you are staying somewhere new with a cat, check where they are before closing a balcony window or door.
The collar Coco was wearing
The collar held the AirTag that helped me find her. If you want to see the same style, we carry the reflective breakaway cat collar with AirTag holder in purple at PetVoyage. The AirTag is sold separately. Check your cat’s neck measurement before choosing a collar.
