A cat died in my neighbor's garage by getting stuck in it.
We just found out today that while my neighbor was away for a week, there was a stray cat caught in his garage. It starved to death. It had often eaten from the food we put out for strays. My cats hated this cat and fought with it every time it came in the yard. We had trapped it previously to have it spayed. I just feel so horrible about this. He was right next door and nobody knew he was in there, starving. Being a cat in this world can be a very cruel existence. Please, please check your garages and toolsheds for stray cats and other animals who might get stuck in them. This is just too sad.

1. Poor kitty.
It's also good to check under the hood of your car in the winter-they go there to get warm.

2. I lost a kitty
and had another kitty injured because of the warm engine. I keep them indoors now,cept when I am out back and they want to come out and take their dirt baths.

Luckily it only nicked her ear.
