Do you have an indoor cat or one who likes to go out at night?

Mossy loves being indoors and doesn't venture any further than the garden. Do animals have bad memories that stay with them? She was in a bad way when she was found, I often thought her injuries were by human hands and not a cat fight. I don't believe that it is only elephants who never forget.

@OogieBoogie long story.
I used to live on a busy road. And parked on the medium strip..
one morning I was leaving for work. And there she was. Between my car and the road. All confused.. somebody had just dumped her obviously…
I didn’t want to go to work and have a kitten stumble out onto the busy road.. so I took her inside. Gave her water and went to work.. she’s been there ever since

So you became an adopted dad that day?

There's just no way any pet you had would be normal 😂

@OogieBoogie P.S. i assumed it was a 'he' and named him Hercules.

it wasnt until months later when i took her to the vet to get desexed did i find out he was a 'She'..

but the name stuck

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout i think that just makes it even better.

I mean.... even if she was called Xena Warrior Princess - it still wouldn't be a name that suits her.

She kinda smashes any preconceptions of cute and cuddly kitty.

I think its kinda cool how you two 'abide together' and have worked out a non conformist co habitation regime 😅
