I have a good update this afternoon! I just woke up to a Facebook update posted by my mom regarding our regarding our adventurer, Socks. He's been apprehended! He just walked inside through the door this morning and it got closed behind him. Evidently he complained vociferously, and he's now...

He is! We'll get there! I was actually thinking last night about possibly having the porch screened in with some good strong screen and framing. That way, at least if the cats were to get out, it would create a buffer that would prevent them from going any farther.

It's Day 8 of Sock's escapades. He fared the rain storm that we had come through earlier this afternoon. Here he is laying on top of a wood pile we have on our back porch. He needs to quit being a brat and come back in! Goofball!

Day 6 of Sock's escapades: He was waiting on the back porch this morning for breakfast according to grandmother (I slept all day as I work night shifts). She said he ate in increments and got pets and loving in between bites. She also said he put his front paws on the door sill of the open back...

I did zip tie it open, and he seems to be fine eating next to it so far. I'm going to start moving the bowl closer and into it over the next few days and see how he reacts to eating closer to/in it.

Today was day 5 of Sock's outdoor escapades. He's still coming around regularly for his meals (Same times as when our other indoor cats get fed), like clockwork and good at coming when called. His fur was a bit damp this morning due to the rain last night. I dipped my finger in his wet food and...

Socks was waiting for his breakfast this morning. He even let Grandmother love on him some, so I think he's forgiven her for his indiscretions a couple of nights ago, so that's good. He's been eating next to the trap with it closed yesterday evening and this morning and didn't seem to perturbed...

We had a friend bring a trap they used to catch their cat over a little while ago, so I'm hoping it'll work for Socks.

Day 3 of Sock's outdoor escapades. Mom heard a brief cat scuffle this morning before I got up and wasn't sure where they went. I called Socks up to the porch from the garage which is probably 50-75 feet down the driveway. Our garage seems to be a popular hangout spot for stray/feral cats as...

We tried to get Socks in just a few minutes ago. My grandmother couldn't hold onto him long enough to get him in the door when I opened it and he squirmed out of her hands. Hopefully he'll forgive her and we can try again in the morning when he comes for breakfast. How do you grab and hold onto...

It's all good. No worries.

This was totally accidental that he got out. He just darted right out as my grandmother was opening the door, and he was too fast for her to grab. I don't think she was expecting him to be right there.

Sunday morning, I was awakened to find out that one of our cat, Socks accidentally slipped out the door while my Grandmother was out feeding the birds. We live on four acres in a not really urban neighborhood. We also have a small house in the property and a lot of bushes surrounding it about 50...

Also, I just thought of something I wanted to ask: does it seem silly that I couldn’t muster up the nerve to handle Alvin this morning, having my mom get him? I handled Maggie as she was put to sleep and have handled the cat boxes as I’ve buried past cats, but not this time for some reason...

Hey, all. It’s been a while since I’ve been on here. It seems every time I post, it’s when one of my furry family members crosses the Rainbow Bridge, and never for happier moments, which I do intend to be better at. But, this morning, I come with the news that we lost another furry family...
