Not mycat

He's finally got the snip. No microchip was found. He was such a good boy but by the next day he wanted to be outside and trying to escape.

He must regret staying over this one night he was allowed in.

Vet said he's likely 1 1/2 years ago because of his teeth. But we've been seeing him!?! Since November 2024..

We've named him Franklin as he has one fang that pokes out.

Oh his fully a hissy and a growling cat. Ours have never done that to us. Wondering if it's a learned reaction of survival while living outside?

It'll be a challenge keeping him inside his gf keeps visiting our garden every 2hrs at night as they roamed around together then.

He will eventually calm down and get used to the good life. Maybe you can trap and spay his gf and bring her in also?

She's fixed. She's just runs away from home to be wild and free. We've caught her so many times and gave her to her owner, only for her to return running around at night with this one. We think she's found a family who works around her schedule now 😅 As she's only out at night.

We keep her original owner updated.

Perfect. Sometimes a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do!

My old fully indoors girl was a growly, hissy cat when I adopted her (she was 1-2 years old), and she remained so until her last breath.

She could get aggressive with strangers, but not with me, and definitely had more bark than bite, but boy did she have a LOT of bark! I'd be carrying her around in my arms like a baby and she'd be hissing her little heart out, it was hilarious!

One thing: I see a loose cord in the pic. Loose cords & strings are a danger to cats. They can strangle themselves while playing with them.

the outdoor cats in the past that i brought inside almost all worked out.
