Please help with my "lost" cat.
She was born in this house 8 months ago. She later liked to roam around at night but always came home to eat and sleep.
Then she stopped coming home. A few days gone missing I hear her crying in my neighbor's back patio. The house is vacant, new, for sale. It has a very tall wall around it, prolly 11 feet. There are two young trees in the yard, neither of which reaches the top of the wall or even close.
Unless she can scale a smooth wall (no steps of any kind to aid her entering or exiting) all I can assume is that she lives there or CAN scale the wall and comes crying for food every night.
All the windows and doors are closed in the vacant house. There is no source of water. I lob food over the wall every night. Been doing that for a month and a half.
I hung a sheet over the wall thinking she'd climb it .. no tamale. Twice I've entered the property, she's nowhere to be seen.
I'm too advanced in years to manage entering the property at night with a ladder. So I've never seen her, only hear her. She looked newly pregnant the last time I did see her.
Questions: Can cats scale a smooth 11-foot wall? Is it possible she has a litter living in a hole under the house? Even if she is able to come and go at will why does she bother to enter the property just to receive food when she could simply come home? She's never been mistreated, that's for sure.
