This doesn't surprise me particularly. Simply because I've not had my
Demelza, who is declawed (she came that way from shelter) & an indoor cat,
microchipped or tattooed despite - in her younger days - her propensity
for
trying to sneak out the door.


I would worry about what would happen if she got loose. In my case, for
example, this whole lost kitty thing would be over with if she had a tattoo
or microchip. I would have found her owners and she'd be back in her own
comfortable home. Not that I'm not enjoying her company (because I really
like her!) but her humans must be worried (at least I hope they are, because
if they're not, I don't think they deserve to have her back) and if she had
a microchip, they wouldn't have to worry anymore!


She sounds like a sweet cat - if her owners are missing her, I hope you'll
find them. If that's not the case, then she sounds like she'll be a
lovely
addition to the feline end of the family.


My cat isn't too sure about that! She snuck into my room (pushed her way
through a not very tightly shut door) to check out Stranger Cat. Kitty was
fine, but Stranger Cat hissed and growled at her. It seemed to be very much
out of fear rather than anger, though. So, Kitty hissed back but still
continued to check her out until I realized what was going on and carried
her out. She's very curious about Stranger Cat, and I think she might be OK
with another cat in the house. For now, though, she just wants her room
back! I'm tempted to have Kitty in my room tonight and let Stranger Cat
roam the house. However, Stranger Cat may find somewhere to hide and get
lost again!
