A true cat story.

It predates Pumpkin. I had a cat named Charlie who was a bad ass who fought and defeated neighborhood cats over multiple homes in our rental days. The first house we owned was on a cul-de-sac, and he kept all cats out. Think was significant, because our other cat at the time, Trouble, had a big attitude that he could not back up.

By the time we moved to our present home, Charlie was getting old, and bit by bit, he could not defend the yard. We had a feral neighbor with feral cats at the time, and these cats wore him down, resulting in large vet bills.

We had a potting shed at the time that was not being used, so I converted it to a cat house. It had an indoor area, as well as a screened in yard with grass for them. I wish I had kept pictures.

I christened it “Meowschwitz,” but my horrified wife vetoed this name, and it became “Meowlcatraz.” They lived there for several years until I paroled them and tore the whole thing down. They lived free and peacefully for the rest of their days.

Your sense of humor reaches me. My wife doesn’t do horrified anymore. She just rolls her eyes.

We had outdoor cats for a number of years. It all started with one pregnant cat who adopted us on the day we were moving to the country. I wonder if she knew what she was getting herself into. Those kittens grew up and became true country c ats. We never had a problem with mice, other than finding dead ones on the porch all the time. Over the years, a few of the kittens were adopted by neighbors once they grew up and started wandering. Truth be told, the cats adopt ed the neighbors. A few disappeared, but the rest got old and passed peacefully. Then my mom got a dog....

Our cats our indoor cats. Sometimes the litter box makes me wish they were outdoor cats, but I like knowing they are safe and keeping the vet bills low.
