OK, technically Spring is still eight days away, but who's counting? Our goals over the winter with Pepper have gone pretty well. He did spend many a cold night indoors. Usually he'd take at least one foray out of the house per day, but generally that was before bed and wouldn't last long. As it's gotten warmer, he has gotten in the habit of going out in the afternoon or evening then reappearing at our door between 7 and 9 in the morning, coming in, eating, and sleeping the rest of the day. Perfectly normal cat behavior! We've gotten only three or four calls or e-mails about him over the past month, and two of those were from people who were already familiar with him and just wanted to check in. So overall, keeping him has gotten to be much lower maintenance!
Friday morning he did not appear and was missing until Saturday afternoon when animal control showed up at our door with him, sans collar! They identified him with the subdermal chip. So, thanks to whoever found him and called animal control. We've got new tags on order and will start letting him out again as soon as they're on.
By the way if you find his collar, please give us a shout, it would be nice to have it back. Thanks!
