My mom's reasoning was the same: "We got sick of people running down our cats." I guess some of their previous pets had been run over. All of my cats have been indoor cats ever JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10736134123414438290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563786468286819523.post-29568030240549058052011-10-08T17:08:08.169-07:002011-10-08T17:08:08.169-07:00I love black cats!

My first kitty that was all my own was Smut, a solid black kitten who was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen up to that point (I was only 9)! He got out one day and disappeared. Broke my heart. So, when I was old enough to be on my own and have my own pets, none of them ever went out again if I had any control. Thanks for sharing this beautiful story.

I've had housecats all my adult life and they've lived long and happy lives. I do all I can to keep them safe and healthy (mentally and physically). Lucius was actually the last outdoor cat I had. Losing him hurt too badly- I couldn't risk going through that again.Creative Crittershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153067594317645380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563786468286819523.post-38923916488850509652011-10-08T11:08:30.153-07:002011-10-08T11:08:30.153-07:00What a beautiful story!

But, knowing how he came into your life makes my heart warm. The special bond you had it wonderful, and I know you have many happy memories.

I confess I am so happy that your cats are now indoor cats. I know it's not always possible for people to keep cats inside, but there are so many bad things that can happen to them "out there." It's not the sort of world where a domestic cat can run free and still be safe.Scotti Cohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550034108886104840noreply@blogger.com
