Cooley High Lana!! I've been worried for you! I had a blue long-haired Angora cat named Max
many years ago who was my first and only cat and I loved him dearly. At the same time, I housed my male adopted-dog-from-a-neighbor Champ who looked like the Mighty Dog in the commercial - part terrier and sheep dog. Anyhow, on rare occasions Max would escape. He turned very nocturnal when he sometimes escaped at night while I was putting Champ out on his leash in the back yard.
One time, after escaping the night before, he arrived at my sliding glass door the following morning with his "catch," a precisionly sliced-in-half mouse with head and upper body intact. A Ginsu knife surely was the culprit!
I did NOT foster such violent behavior in my sweet beautiful Max, nor did I give him any opportunity to purchase those televised Ginsu knife sets!!
Go figure!

Our 2 rescue siamese were outside cats in HF, and had numerable
and memorable consequences. Moving to TX forced them to be indoor cats, as coyotes and other predators abound. They love it. Occasionally I will take them outside, but they are scared of cows and beg to go back indoors as soon as they have "grazed" a bit on whatever grass they can find (drought, you know). We don't have any cows, mind you -- they are "neighbors" and not even on the next property. But cows are LOUD! Cat's haven't a clue!

Ours NEVER go out. Experts say you double your cat's life expectancy by keeping them indoors.

Obviously I need to buy some cows! I think it's a cultural thing...
in South Africa, the only indoor cats I had ever heard of were a couple of Persians whose owners told me were just too stupid to go outside. My cats are usually locked in by 9 pm, which usually works well. This time, he must have been trapped pretty early on - he's usually at the garage waiting for me or DD to come home and feed him.
Perhaps I just need a recording of cows!

yes PLEASE!! I get tired of cleaning their poop out of the garden - they never use heir own yard.
and have almost hit them... several times... as they dash across the road. I see them often laying by the side of the road where they have been hit - an awful way to die. I'm a real animal lover and can't understand why cats are the only animals allowed to run free... they are domestic animals... not wild.

I received 2 nice compliment s...a lady told me my house was the first one with cats she'd
been in that didn't smell like a cat litter box.
One other time a friend of my husband's asked me to take care of his cats in his home while he was gone for several days. He couldn't get over it when he got home how clean the box was. He said he never experienced that before and couldn't get over how clean it was. He acted like he was in shock.
I don't mind cleaning the box. Every time I think of me having to go in a dirty box it motivates me.
I always tease my husband...he never liked cats before we were married over 40 years ago...now he loves them. I tell him God likes cats better because he created a larger variety of house cats and wild cats....the wild cats are different patterns, also some run faster, some jump higher, some like water...same with domestics

I live in NYC so the furthest my girls go is the hallway which they do...
...every night they come with me to take out the garbage and one of my girls when the house phone rings knows we're having company and comes with me to greet guests at the elevator which is quite a distance from my apartment. My challange is keeping them off our terrace. When we are outside they want to join us...again they are young and frisky and too many cats off the terrace stories, not worth the chance, they can sit and look out the glass door or windows. Luckily no kitty liter smell in my house, the only reason people know I have cats is they are very social and in the middle of everything and everyone.

Ha, locked in a garage. DH went to work one morning & unknowingly locked someone's two
dogs in our garage. They were silent until a few hours later when I got ready to leave the house and opened the house door leading into the garage. What a shock! They jumped and went crazy barking and I almost had a heart attack. I was scared to open the door again and stick my hand out to use the garage door opener but I managed to do so. Of course, the minute the door opened, they left. They were two big hunting dogs and belonged to someone on a construction crew in the neighborhood, we later found out. I'm sort of scared of dogs anyway because of a childhood trauma.
