I have three indoor cats; two black kitties from the same litter and a tortoiseshell. We live in the woods where housepets are subject to becoming a snack for cougars, bobcats, fox, and coyotes.
Generally, my cats have no interest in going outside, but Kaylee (one of the black cats) likes to go on a short walkabout now and again, and if she goes outside then the other two figure they are missing out on something. Normally she is only outside for a few minutes or at best an hour or two.
Kaylee got out Wednesday afternoon, but I did not realize it until last night. I searched high and low last night to no avail. I put out some food which was gone in the morning, but anything could have come onto the porch and eaten it.
This morning I started looking at 5 am and made a number of forays looking for her and was resigned to the idea that she was probably gone.
This has been a horrible month, and I was thinking now the month was ending with my having lost sweet Kaylee.
I drove to the Post Office twice this morning; the first time I got back I could swear I saw her on the porch and was so excited, but nope, it was my imagination. When I came back from my second trip and was about to carry some boxes into the house I thought I saw her, dropped the box that was in my hand and ran to the porch where she was caterwauling to be let into the house!
What a blessing!! My sweet Kaylee is home!!
Here is Kaylee having a staring contest with Molly (the tortie.)
