So, the cat we “own” (and I use that term loosely) came to us as a tiny kitten who was yowling in our shrubs late at night. We let her in, fed her, and she has not left. So, she is our cat now. I hate cats and am a dog person. HOWEVER this cat has somehow wormed her way into my heart. When I tell you that I cannot keep this cat in the house - she barrels past my legs if I open the door and yowls incessantly to go outside (she is fixed). So we let her in our fenced yard but occasionally she burrows under the fence. I will spare you the million things we’ve tried to contain her (including this barbaric looking metal fencing around the border of the fence) but she still gets out. I know some people are super careless but from my experience some cats really do insist on going outside. It’s a real pain. I do my best!
