Yes, your cat is obedient and used to go outside to get back to you at night, I find it nice and touching . I did not intend to let her go outside. Why some people leave their cat Free outdoors and others prefer their cat inside?My kitten was at risk until his big appointment at 10 weeks to get neutered. That's when I had the vet implant a chip. Then I filled out the forms online to register him for the USA.
He's not going to Canada or Mexico anytime soon.
When he was big enough I also got him a flea collar and wrote his name and my phone number on it in black ink.
He also has a city pet license with a registration number and so the animal control agency has him on record too.
All of these measures depend on him being found and caught by another human however. He is very hard to catch and he runs away from everyone except for me. So these measures are simply passive and may not work.
But last night as usual he wanted to go outside so after 10 p.m. when the dog walkers are all in bed with their dogs and the traffic is very lite, I let him out.
He came back 4 hours later on his own, then meowed to wake me and tell me he was back.
He is such a good kitty !!
And it took a while to teach him about the new neighborhood so he knows his way around. This is the critical factor. It is more important than a chip or a collar.
And it is said that indoor cats live older, is this true?
