You’re lucky your cats can go outside at night. We used to leave our outside cats out but after losing some to those nasty coyotes, we bring them inside at night now. They don’t like it and they let me know it b being obnoxious. LOL!
Yeah, losing that much independence has to be crushing. I feel bad for her as that’s not the kind of news anyone wants to hear.
It’s funny how they have their little routine. Out at 8pm...in whenever I open that back door in the morning. I don’t think they stray very far. They’re good kitties. :)
My MIL’s routines, unfortunately, are on hold. She’s 94 but has always been the helper, not the one needing help!
