well first I have to say that Muffin is NEVER let out without me.
but I know even with me outside with her something could happen, very quickly.
second, she may just be solving the problem herself... the little devil has been jumping over the fence to the neighbors before I can catch her!! she did that this morning, and I had to hop over the brick fence, luckily its a short one...funny mental pic if it was tall!!...I was very irritated that she did it again, so I was going to pick her up and bring her inside, but she did that roling over thing, that means oh I love it dont make me leave! and looked at me with eyes that seemed to say Im sorry but there was a bird--I couldnt help myself. so I let her stay out ther, and watched her, for a few more minutes.
I know I have been pretty wishy washy with the cats lately, Louise has been getting too much canned food. I am very bad about spoiling them all! but I am going to stop all that, those 2 eat way too much of the canned stuff, and miss muffin is going to run into a rattlesnake if she keeps this up. she never forgets, it will be miserbale for several weeks, but I am cutting the canned food to once a day for breakfast and no more outside...I just feel bad for muffin because she wants to play and the 2 don't play with her, so yesterday I put a sheet over a chair and made her , her very own tent!! she loved it! i played with her, throwing the toy mouse in there, or waving a string, and she would attckc it! i closed the door so the others couldnt get in ther and bother her.
I don't live near any river banks, but I have seen rattlesnakes around a few times, and it is scary.
someone metioned grass... whats that? LOL, here in the desert, we don't see much of it!
owning cats(or--being owned by cats) sure has changed in 20 years, I used to have one in Ca. and in that neighborhood there were no coyotes or snakes, I would just let her outside, feed her, and that was that...never knew I had to brush their teeth, trim claws, hairball medicine etc ...
well they are worth it all.
