Guess who slipped out the door when I went out to feed the ferals.

Madoc, the not so intrepid explorer. When I came back around to the door, he was frantically racing back and forth. I picked him up and opened the door. He leaped from my arms and raced into the house.

Poor, traumatized boy. Glad I didn't decide to hang around with the outdoor kitties, this afternoon.

Even if I were to miss her (I have) he won't come in or he will pace in front of the door. He won't eat until I've fed the others. He's a rescue, I doubt we will ever know if it was natural talent or learned behavior.

My daughter thought it would be fun to let Eddie out on the deck a couple summers ago. Now you can’t keep him inside (unless it’s snowing). My 2 boys have never set foot on Mother Earth.
