(26,582 posts)But someone down the street moved out and left their 5 cats behind. This was 5.5 years ago. They ended up in my yard (they know which house is cat friendly). I made sure they were spayed & neutered, but I couldn't bring them in. After a couple of years only 2 were left.
Then about 6 months ago, another neighbor moved out and left their cat behind....along with her 7 kittens! They'd had this cat for a couple years at least! No wonder all these kittens kept showing up. I took her and got her fixed, but I think she still hangs around her old house. I do see her occasionally. I either got the kitties homes and a rescue took the rest.
Horrible pet owners. I currently have 4 strays on the deck I feed. They're fixed, but there's no way to bring them in. Hopefully since I got that girl fixed there won't be so many new kittens.
My cats love the indoors. Once my female got out and was on the deck all day while I was at work. I don't think she left the deck at all. She's had little interest in outdoors since. My avatar pic cat, I can leave the door open all day and he won't go out. He's a scaredy cat.
