Just thought cat people would be interested

I adopted a cat from one of my clients because she was going to take it to the shelter because she said when she brought the cat in it peed on her floor. I explained to her that the cat box needed to be cleaned but it went on deaf ears.

I took the cat and kept it inside for a month and decided to build it a cat condo in the garage... rather than allow it out. My son left the door open by accident and it got away .. we spent weeks looking for it and left food out but this cat is not a friendly cat and does not like people or other animals.


The lady called me yesterday to tell me a cat was at her back door and it looked like the cat she gave away.

This cat travelled 6 miles over the highway and thru the forest ( I live in Pa.) .The lady told it was in a crate and to come and get it.


Please if you get a cat please consider keeping it - it is a 15 to 20 year commitment and cats can be great friends. Very sad. It had lost half its weight and was covered in ticks and fleas.

i agree with you about keeping a cat. what a sad story. do you have the cat back now then? you are such a sweet person to take care of it. so many people treat pets like they are just objects. once they have had enough, they just want to get rid of them. then they will go get another....i will never understand that. thanks for sharing.

Cats can sometimes be stubborn though. I had a cat when I lived with my parents and I took him with me when I moved out. He streaked out of the front door like a bolt of lightning twice in spite of my best efforts to keep him in and both times he found his way back to the old house. My mother finally told me to just let him live at his old house because it was too dangerous for him to travel like that.

Good luck with the wanderer.
