I saw a video on the news recently - within the last week - that showed a Florida panther in somebody's back yard. That's what they said it was, anyway. You see that? --Vic That backyard probably was the cat's backyard before it was tractored out and developed. Healthy wild animals typically avoid close encounters with humans. We have critters crossing through our yard just as they did before we moved here. They walk from one woods to another. We leave water and sometimes food out for them at the edge of the woods. Just once some baby raccoons came up close to the house. In fact, our youngest cat, Cal, actually lived among a family of raccoons when he was a really small kitten. I have no explanation for it, other than he is a Maine coon cat, but of course that's really no explanation. Once we saw him, I started putting out a plate for food for him, and in a few days, was able to catch him in a cage trap baited with a can of sardines. He was only a few months old then. Took him up to the vet for an exam (no feline leukemia) and shots, and the second I got him home he became a wonderful little housecat with absolutely no desire to go outside. This is Cal, shortly after we brought him indoors: http://s21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...urrent=002.jpg |
