I went back for a second search outside, looking for places I hadn't explored the first time. This time I saw a half-door open in the basement of the building; pushed it open, and made the clicking noise that brings them running quicker than anything besides a can opener, and voila! Carmen came running out of the darkness, purring and chirping at me. The other two aren't quite as thrilled as I am; she smells so strongly even *I* can smell it, and they are both hissing at her. I took a wet wipe to the parts that looked damp, and now she's washing out of pure indignation. We'll see if that helps.
Of course, it's too late now for me to make the Preservation lecture I hoped to attend this AM. And I guess I should really hit the presentation that's due tomorrow. Sigh.
