Home Safe: My Outdoor Misadventures!

I just wanted to let all of you know that I'm home safe again this morning. Thank you for all of your prayers. It was a terrifying experience for me and my Mommy.
Mommy was so sad last night that she couldn't sleep. Finally, she opened the front door, locked the screen, and turned off the fan and T.V. and anything else that made noise so she could hear me if I tried to come home. She finally fell asleep on the couch.
At about quarter to six this morning, she woke up with a start. She thought she heard me! But it was impossible! It sounded like I was in the house! She ran to the door anyway and looked out, but I wasn't there. "It must be the other cats," she frowned. But I cried again, even louder this time!
"Meow! MEOW!!! Help me, Mommy!" I cried.
The other cats were right there, and they weren't talking. "It's Aydan!" Mommy screamed.
She ran outside barefoot, still wearing the clothes she fell asleep in.
"Aydan, Aydan!" She called me. But she couldn't find me anywhere.
Amber followed her outside and ran ahead.
"Amber! FIND AYDAN!" She said.
Amber barked and ran to the side of the house. She got to the root cellar door and barked. "WOOF! WOOF!" She announced proudly.
"He couldn't be down there," said Mommy, "There's no way to get in. The door's too heavy."
But Amber is very smart, and Mommy trusts her, so the lifted the heavy door.
"Aydan," she called.
"Meoooowww!" I cried. "Help me!"
Mommy climbed down into the root cellar and looked all around, but she couldn't see me anywhere.
"Meow! Meeeeooooowwwww!"
Then she saw me, just a glimpse of my orange eyes reflecting the outside light. The root cellar connects to the crawl space by way of a very small hole about 3' off the ground. The floor is packed dirt, and it is filled with spiders, as well as copper pipes that could flood the crawl space or the house if they were bumped into and broken.
"Oh my god," was all she could say.
Mommy's heart beat hard and fast, but she breathed deeply and called me again. "Aydan, come to Mommy! It's okay, baby! Come on!"
I came closer to the edge, and mewed. Mommy reached for me, but I got scared again and ran back further into the crawl space. Mommy couldn't reach me. She called and called, but I was too afraid to come. I ran deeper into the crawl space.
Mommy pulled herself out of the root cellar as quickly as she could. She ran into the house with Amber. She put on her shoes and grabbed a flash light, a broom and her cell phone. She ran back. She left Amber just outside of the root cellar and told her to stay. Amber would bark for help if need be.
Mommy put her cell phone securely in her pocket. She held the broom in her left hand and the flash light in her right. She would have to crawl on her belly to get to me. The crawl space is only about eighteen inches high.
She hoisted herself through the little hole in the root cellar wall, carefully avoiding the copper pipes. She shined the flashlight towards me, while she used the broom to break through the spider webs.
She had no idea how she would get out while holding me, and she was very afraid that she would not have enough space to turn around and get out again. She had no idea what was back there! But I had already been trapped for three days and two nights with no food or water. She had to get to me!
Mommy crawled on her tummy, like a soldier, pulling herself forward with her forearms. "Aydan, Aydan!" She called. "Come on, honey!"
I was so afraid! I wanted to come to her, but I was dehydrated and delirious. I ran all the way to the back of the crawl space until I was trapped in a corner. I mewed, terrified. "Mommm-eeee!" I cried. "Meeeooooowww! Help me!"
Mommy finally reached me. She was scared too. She was afraid she wouldn't be able to get out with me in her arms. But she picked me up and held me out in front of her. She put the flashlight band around her wrist and left the broom behind. She would brave the spiders without it. She pulled herself out on her elbows, holding me in front of her with both hands. When she got back to the access hole, she was worried. If she dropped me down, I might run off again in my delirium. So she held me tightly and turned around again on her belly. She pushed herself backwards and came out feet first, again being very careful not to hit any copper pipes.
When he got out, she breathed and sighed and kissed me. "We made it," she said, and Amber barked happily from above.
Mommy tucked me under her arm and climbed out of the root cellar. I blinked and sneezed in the bright sunlight. I had been in total darkness for three days!
When we got inside, Mommy opened a can of wet food. I normally eat only dry, so this was a special treat. She put me down in front of the open can. I ate and ate. As my tummy filled, I began to regain my senses. I purred. Mommy petted me, and I purred some more. I was so happy to be home!
Mommy went back out later and found the hole where I got into the root cellar. Grandpa will come over later to patch it. He already fixed the doggy door. (Thank you, Grandpa!) :-)
I am soooo happy to be home with my Mommy and Amber, Maury and Rhea. Thanks again, everyone, for all of your prayers and good wishes! I'm going to give myself a bath now!

***NOTE FROM MOM***

When I got home from work today, I discovered that my dog door was broken, and Aydan was not inside the house. He is an indoor kitty, and I am very worried about him. I have been searching all day and night. If you live in the area, please look for him. My name and phone number are on his tag. Please call me if you find him.
I think I spotted him once, but he ran away before I could get to him. He must be so scared! I'm really afraid for him. Please contact me if you see him, and if not, your prayers would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
