1) she had been an indoor cat, and
2) we should have only her and no other cat.
The first point is easy to understand.
There is a story behind number 2, but I don't know what it is. I note her ears have little hairs like a lynx at the top, and she acts like a hunter. Hmm. Could be.
We have windows across the back of our house (small house, lots and lots of windows in the back), and when she first joined our family, she sat at those windows and stared outside as if watching a movie or a dream that could not be real.
So we finished getting her shots, and let her out. The dream became reality as they say. But we only let her outside during the day because there are coyotes and raccoons and who knows what out there (in the middle of Los Angeles) once it gets dark.
When the neighbor's bully of a cat stays away, she stays outside as long as she can. I think she sleeps in what is compared to her size, a forest of succulents. She climbs our avocado trees just a bit, just to show off and feel her claws in the tree bark, doesn't really go up all that far and then comes down and runs around. She likes to hide under our car so we watch to make sure we know where she is before we back out of our driveway.
It's just a joy to have a cat in our lives.
This morning we woke up to find she was sleeping between us in our bed. She favors my husband I think although I'm the one who cleans her litter and her room and feeds her most of the time.
I knit, and she loves my yarn. The sight of it just intrigues her. Ohhh, how she would love to play with my knitting projects. But, as a human, I am wary because my knitting project would soon be spread all over the house.
My cat loves videos of other animals but not of humans. I think the videos of animals excite her hunting urge.
