Milly´s freedom

Milly is now an indoor kitty. I´m too afraid to let her out for fear she´ll cross the path of one of the wild dogs we see roaming the streets outside our housing compound. Yesterday though I blocked the garden gate and let our her outside for the first time here in Mexico. She was about two centimeters off the ground for the first five minutes as she cautiously explored her new surroundings, sniffing everything.

Cats are so funny. I love the flat ears.

I could never let my kitty out on the mean streets of Mexico! There are so many dangers out there--if you have a walled garden, I say let her have it! But you're smart to keep her safely tucked away at home.
By the way, you mentioned another kitty who is still at your house in France. Why didn't you bring her/him? Who's taking care of her/him over there? Isn't it funny that I am actually worried about this??!! (:

We have a typical Mexican walled garden which is great for keeping track of cats and kids. I just hope she won´t jump the wall! I think she´s too fat for that.

Our other cat is living in our house in France, being cared for by the renter. That was part of the deal, "house for rent with cat." We had to leave her because even just taking her to the vet was a huge ´yowling´ ordeal so you could imagine 10 hours on a plane!

Aaaahhh...That makes sense! It must be weird having one here, one there, especially when you visited home and she was still there, hanging out in the house.
But it sounds like the best deal for her!
