Thread: The Wanderer

My first MC was a rescue named Rosie. She was also an indoor-outdoor cat, a fantastic hunter, just lived up to every old tale you hear about the breed and must have been descended from the ship cats. She would regularly leave for days, usually 2-3 sometimes more, but she was never very far away. There is a wooded area behind my mom's house and that's where she preferred to spend her time. I will say this, though, only because we suffered a terrible loss when Rosie was only 7: keep up to date on shots especially feline leukemia. She died a painful and horrific death from FLV and my mom still blames it on not keeping up with shots every year.
We had another cat named Aleah that also liked being outside. Sometimes she would stay out all night but always be waiting in the morning. One day Aleah still wasn't home, another day passed, and another, so we assumed the worst. NINE MONTHS LATER Aleah returned, slightly thinner and cold, as it was the dead of winter, and we had absolutely no idea where she went or how she made it back home. My guess is some little old lady was feeding her and maybe letting her inside, but Aleah wasn't exactly a friendly cat lol. They can and will go on adventures-watch Milo and Otis lol!
