" Must he go out? Wouldn't it be nicer never to have that feeling of
wondering if he was the one hit, ever again? This took place around 8:30 - 9am, there always kept in at night - it's the best advice, definetely more likely to get into trouble with any unfriendly stray's, or cars after dark! - around 5:30 - 6pm is when the catdoor gets shut. This is the 1st incident we'v had with any of them (3 - now 4 with the addition of a stray that turned up a few weeks back) and in fact it's only in recent times that we'v noticed 2 of them venturing toward the street! It IS a worry, I'd absolutely hate any thought of them being injured -or worse- but there not the kind to like being kept inside, the car problem is the only danger, otherwise it's perfectly safe - no other animals around ~ well.. except for the Mutt next door! but he's closed in his backyard !! apart from the couple of times we'v spotted one on the street edge, and a few weeks back Georgie came home walking across the street and up to me!! horrors! I was out calling him - not expecting to see him return from that direction!! cos they nearly always head out the back where there are no houses or cars ~ just long grass and open land. The Vet did say that in his experience, when a cats had a shock like that - they DO learn and remember to beware of that place - I hope he's right. I'm about to start a web site - and a page of that is going to be cat pix gallery... might be a little ways off yet, cos there will be more to it than that page... and it'll take a bit of development - and spare time! to get up and running, will release the site name here 1st! |
