May I suggest if one possesses a cat that has access to the outdoors, one puts a loud bell on a collar that has hazzarrd orange tape wrapped around it so our BELEAGERED bird population has a chance? I did with my cat who went out the dog door to the kennel, so... protect our wildlife, what's left of it. Peace
Our youngest cat Whiskers, has stayed out a long time, but he shows up again. We got worried when he missed food time, but he showed up again. Lately he seems to want to stay around the house and hasn't missed food time for a quite a while now. Of course we have had some rain the last couple of weeks too.
Poor kitty's all partied out, just like hoomans...
