Mama Cat was a stray that wandered into my life 7 years ago!
She's a lovely cat with a very calm temperament. Out of all the cats, she is the one who doesn't really fight!
But she is also the one who gets out a lot!
My cats have always been indoor-only. Where we lived before had too many busy roads. Here, there are a lot of different creatures, wild hogs, badgers, raccoon dogs, and snakes. Those are the ones I've seen; I'm sure there are more. So I don't want my cats outside, fighting and getting injured!
But Mama Cat gets out. Most of the time, we don't know how she does it. We keep the doors closed and locked, some of the cats can open a door if it isn't locked! Windows are closed; if they are open, the screens a locked in place. We haven't found any holes that she could get out of. The only thing we can think of is that she is dashing out as we go out! So now leaving the house includes calling someone to catch Mama Cat.
Most of the time she comes back within a day, but a few weeks ago she was missing for a week. I was surprised at how thin she had become! After she had eaten, she slept for a day. I think being outside meant that she couldn't relax properly, so she didn't sleep very well!
I have a harness and lead for the cats, but none of them like it. I tried to put it on Mama Cat, but she just runs away! I'll try again, I think she would like to be outside a bit!
Just a couple of photos of Mama Cat!
