My girls are only allowed outside under supervision. I live in an apartment complex, and NO ONE obeys the speed limit, so I am with them at all times! They mainly like to lay on the cement (warmth) and to gobble a piece of grass or two. Tabitha has been known to sneak out, and run to the side of the building, but I can always get to her right away.

I do, however, have a funny story to tell about my friends' cat, Punkin Patch Raptor. I was watching Punkin (5 months old) and his dog sister Roxie over the weekend, and both are allowed outside in their chain link fence enclosed yard. Well, Punkin must have missed his family so much that he decided to go look for them... and he squeezed between the fence and the gate and he was gone! Little guy is FFFAAASSSTTTT!

Of course, I kept thinking he would come home. I was getting quite worried after about 1/2 an hour when he was still MIA. So I took off through the neighborhood, calling his name. No Punkin. I had gone around to another street, was circling back, and was about 3 houses from his house, feeling heartbroken that I may have lost their precious little Punkin Patch Raptor. I looked behind me, and there he stood, on the sidewalk.... FOLLOWING ME EVER SO QUIETLY! Little stinker! I stopped, called him, and he came right to me! Needless to say, his outdoor privileges were removed for the remainder of the time that his family was away! Poor little one, he must have missed them so much, couldn't find them, and decided that since I had come looking for him, that maybe I was okay after all!
