Some kittehs are meant to be outdoors. No matter how much we want them to be in so we can keep an eye on them AND save on vet bills, they insist on being outside. It becomes a battle that Kitteh wins.
(they are so smart. Simply by wearing us down, they get what they want
)
Ohhh honey, I am so sorry about your mean neighbors.
That is awful. I would be so sad And I am glad you have nice neighbors that help look after Yellow Kitteh. I wish I had a garage. I would put Kitteh in there, for sure.
We have orange kitteh in the neighborhood. He belongs to a house that has had a few tenants over the years. I'd say he is over 11 years old now!
The last person that Orange Kitteh adopted moved across town and James loved Orange Kitteh and brought him with him to the new house. Well, kitteh didn't like it much and kept coming back to our neighborhood (he even had to cross a couple of major streets to get back!).
So the nice neighbors on the block take care of Orange Kitteh and love him and feed him and give him shelter. And look after him. He pretty much owns the neighborhood!
(I would worry endlessly if Bengal Kitteh was outdoor cuz he hasn't any front claws thanks to his previous owners (they were more concerned with their furnishings). If he were to go out, he would probably turn wild again and go for the jugular with the other kittehs if they went for him. But he would get roughed up
Especially now that it's spring and lots of cooped up kittehs are outside. I worry about the cars mostly. We live in a beach community and people are zipping around 24/7. And not paying attention at all. they just want to get home).

I know this was my mean neighbor who hates cats. Thankfully, my nice neighbors across the street keep Yellow Kitty when I'm at work, like his second home, letting him out when I pull into the driveway of my house. I also keep him inside at night, but he will wake me up mid thru the night by romping on me or knocking over a lamp. So, I've learned, much to his dislike, to put him in the attached garage after a little bed time together!  |
