You may remember that we took in a feral cat a few months ago. After much time in our upstairs bedroom, I was finally able to pet the cat, pick up the cat, cuddle the cat, and he became part of our family. Puckers liked to play with Monkey Beans and they'd roll around on the floor and chase each other around the house.

Puckers didn't come home last night. He's been staying out later and later and has been harder and harder to catch. He spends a lot of time under our deck, but I didn't see him there at all today.

We have coyotes around here who love to eat the cats, so we stopped letting the cats out at night, but they are allowed out during the day. Our other three cats are very good and come in at night when we call them, and spend a lot of the time during the day in and out of the house.

I think Puckers was planning his escape for a while. It makes me sad because it seemed like he liked us ok.

OMG, he came back! Jingles sure work fast! :clap:

We had company over the weekend and the guest dogs may have scared him away for the night.

He is now getting a bath from Stripey Cat!!!

Woooo hooooo I'm so happy! :cheer:

After that scare, I think he just bought himself a 1 way ticket to life indoors!

So glad to hear he made it home...it is tough to break some of those old habits...their natural instincts are so strong....cats sure do keep you on your toes or on your knees praying for their safe return!!

Now, Puckers stay!! :)

Thanks you guys - he's so cute and sweet. He has a forever home with us, so I hope he realizes how much we love him!

I went out and called for him and he called back to me - it took some sweet talking and a few minutes of coaxing, but he came out of the brush and rolled on his back and I scooped him up and brought him in.

I lofffff him!!! <3

I am so glad that little Puckster made it home!
Maybe, for a while, give him a kitty treat every time he comes when you call?
Is he fixed?

One of my barn kitties takes off for a few days at a time. I can't even count how many times I thought he was long gone, when there he is, just waiting for me to refill the bowl and give him a cuddle. He's my favorite one - slender, white with tiger splotches, and very very soft. He used to go for walks with me and old Tara - but poor Rocky does not like being around Josie. Angel doesn't mind (Rocky's bro) Josie, but Rock disappears as soon as he hears her bell.

Yay! So glad that Puckers came home.

TOC jingles work very well for run-away kitties!

The most loving, bestest kitty I've ever had is a feral rescue that showed up on my property one October night with 3 of his siblings. I ADORE the Manion Kitty Companion (said with french accent). He is the most loyal, sweet, loving cat EVER. :cloud9: <3 :cloud9: <3

Makes me smile everyday!!
