She ran away for a few weeks back in September\/October.  We saw her once during that time.  She bolted when she saw us.  We left food out.  It went untouched.  While out looking for her one night, we saw a fox.  Another day while hiking in the nearby woods, we saw a coyote.  It made us think that there might be too many predators for a timid cat like her to survive out there.<\/p>\n<p>Then one day a few weeks before we were going to be moving, I saw something out of the corner of my eye when I went into the basement.  There she was!  Skinny.  Dirty.  She must have found some opening and squirmed into the basement.  I suspected it was under the porch.<\/p>\n<p>When we moved, she roamed the new house for the first several nights, howling and whimpering.  It must have been a confusing time for her.  After a few weeks in the wild, cavorting with God only knows what kinds of derelicts, to then find herself in a strange house the smelled of unknown dogs, excessive marijuana use, and a pestiferous perfume, must have been confusing for the poor kitty.<\/p>\n<p>Now she spends more time around us than she did before she ran away.  She&#8217;s pesty sometimes.  She makes annoying squeaky noses rather than meowing.  But she&#8217;s part of the family.  We&#8217;re glad she returned before we moved.  If she hadn&#8217;t, we would have always wondered how she tasted to that coyote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cat Here&#8217;s the cat.
