Dear 4 feline
Just a little story on bolting cats.
My Panda Bear is the only cat out of the 4 that I allow to go outside - this is because she was practically raised outdoors. The story goes - the summer before last I saw this cute little white kitten with a red collar running around the neighborhood - skittish as the dickens - couldn't get close to this little one until around last November when after a lot of coaxing and kitten chow - I was able to pet her. That's before I knew she was a she - anyway by the time I realized she was a she, she was pregnant. She stayed outside most the winter - I let her stay in my garage, along with heating pad and one day (Feb. 24th to be exact) - I noticed she was bleeding. So I got her in the house - put her in a cat condo and within the hour she blessed me with three kittens, one I kept which is my Braydee that I talk about occasionally. The others were adopted to famlies that I know so I can keep track of their progress. Anyway, back to bolting cats - Panda bolts to the outside whenever I open any door and according to one neighbor specifically, she is a menace. Panda (out of all the cats in the neighborhood that run loose) is the only one (according to this neighbor) that does her duty on her tomatoe plants. So I'm trying so hard to make her just an indoor kitty. She's still a wild one, hates everyone but me, but I really love her a lot. We've been through a lot together. She gets along well with the other kitties - except she gets a little cross with her son Braydee. Anyway the whole purpose of this story is - that I understand fully that our babies can get away from us accidentally no matter how hard we try not to let them loose. Oh by the way - my Panda Bear has since been spayed so we won't be expecting again
