What? The cat ran outside and you forgot about it? 😧
Full Story
My cat is fine, she wants to wander outside all the time, sometimes you don’t even notice that she slipped outside when someone opens the door. There’s some bushes in my front yard that she hides in for safety.
Last week, my cat spent the night wandering outside. Then at 3-5 AM next morning, my mother woke up to a loud cat meow and opened the front door to check. There it is, my cat dashing toward the door. She slipped outside the night before when the door was opened.
My cats used to be indoor-outdoor cats until one day the apartment complex manager knocked on my door and returned my cats, saying they weren’t allowed outside. I was pretty upset but I complied. I later learned tht indoor cats live on average about 11 years, compared to outdoor cats which live on average about 4 years.
I’m not telling you want to do with your cat, but I am saying that on top of the usual risks for outdoor cats, you also have to contend with assholes who will try to kill your outdoor cats too.
Food for thought.
