Okay, my dear kitty Squeekers is 4 years old and has been an indoor only kitty her whole life (except as a youngster when she was a stray ). Every since she moved her in May she has greatly desired to be outside (with all the birds and such to get after ). We don't want her outside...there are so many dangers lurking around here with big dogs on the loose, bears, cars etc. and we don't want to change her habbits as she's lived indoors for so long. She did escape one time in her first home and had some sort of encounter with another cat or racoon and since has been miss a small piece of her ear .

Anyways...she's gotten out a few times since we got her but today she got out and ran way behind our house into the forest and I was petrified because I couldn't catch her...we're so afriad that she won't come back if she gets out. We're not sure what to do about it, she's just so sneeky and whenever the screen door is open she darts on out, she's so fast! What can we do to keep her from wanting outside if anything? Anyone have any suggestions...?? We're just so afriad of loosing her...

Thanks!
