Ace Learned To Come Back Home. I’m Very Proud

Once I had Ace spayed, I couldn’t resist letting her go outside and enjoy some freedom. On many websites it says that cats feel perfectly fine being at home and there is no need to let them out, but Ace, being a domestic short-haired cat (Wikipedia definition) has always been interested in the outside and I can tell she likes going out.

On the last Thursday and Friday nights, when I got back home, Ace was outside. She either jumped from or fell off the edge of the window, where she likes to walk around and monitor what’s going on in the street. This has happened before, and when it happens, she is always happy to follow me back home (probably being tired, thirsty and hungry). This is very unlike the times when I let her out – then I’d have to either tempt her to come to me with treats or simply chase her and take her home myself.

On Saturday, though, she made me really proud – I let her outside and she came back herself and started meowing near the door until I heard her and let her in. This goes to show, again, that she’s a very smart cat. Her vet told me that when he heard about some of her behavior even when she was a few months old.

And by the way, according to her estimated age, Ace will soon turn 1. I’ll probably post some pictures.

  1. Here they wouldn’t let you adopt, yes adopt, a cat, yes a cat, without first making you sign that you have screens on your windows (among million other things). But maybe falling from first floor and 50th is a different situation, I mean for the person it lands on.

    Actually, here you would be a total criminal (by petFinder volunteers definitions – normal people don’t give a damn): let your cat fall from the window, keep it hungry, thirsty, let it meow near the door and let it go outside…

  6. I _am_ a very proud “parent” :)
    Thanks.
    Ariel – this is crazy. Why not just kill every animal in captivity that doesn’t belong there? Oh, right… it’s just about every animal in captivity.
