do you have any cats?
Up here outdoor cats do not last long. The coyotes, bobcats and mountain lions get them and even get small and medium sized dogs.
Yes I have two...both black and white “tuxedo” cats...Itchy My elder male just appeared in Florida as a flea infested kitten....and Inky just showed up while I was in Louisiana (as a kitten also) visiting my brother ...Itchy is ? I forget how old he is ....I do know that he has missing teeth and one eye has changed color from its original, but he will lay in my lap and rub my jaw for hours on end. A very affectionate male cat. Inky Has turned out to be a killer and hunter ...picture three rooms of furniture and belongings hastily placed in the center of the room in order to catch the chipmunk she caught and brought into the house which was utilizing my base board heating as a way to avoid capture for about an hour and a half....me my dog (pappillon/pomeranien) and inky trying to recapture the fast critter....I think I saw her laugh at me while I was in the process of getting the rodent out of the house ...true story.
