About four years ago, a Siamese cat began hanging around my place. I eventually named him Calvin, after Calvin Coolidge, and we became very close. Unfortunately, I couldn’t entice him to become an indoor cat.

One night, in the spring of ‘24, I said “good night” to him on my doorstep. The next morning, he was gone, and I haven’t seen him since. A coyote probably got him during the night.

Same happened to our female out door cat who was a strauy that we chose to take care of. She preferred to be outdoors, bit would welcome coming inside when the temps got cold, even though we had one of those heated littel houses. But in long-spells she would start to get antsy.

One day she just disappered. Cats have a way of knowing that they are dying, and they disappear, just to understand that the disapperance could have been for that reason as well. Ours was getting old for sure.
