I have 4 cats, two were adopted as strays (Holly & Willy).
Holly was taken in a year ago at approximately one and a half years old. She came everyday and was very friendly, at first I thought someone owned her. She let me take some large ticks off of her face and administer Frontline. One day I looked out and she was in heat surrounded by Toms. Of course she got pregnant, and I took her in. She had 4 beutiful kittens and I found wonderful homes for them and had her spayed.

Lately she has been trying to sneak outside when I go thru the door (I'm very slow-disabled-and she takes advantage of it). She darted out into the garage twice, luckily the doors to it were closed. I have taken to having a 'squirt bottle' handy near the doors, cuz I'm so slow. The other cats show curiosity, but if I so 'NO' loudly, they get away, but I know they'd go out if no one was paying attention.

I'm terrified that Holly (or one of the others) will get out. We live in a rural area, but on a main road and there are wild animals about after dark. I had a terrifying experience last summer, and I don't know how to get her to lose interest in the outside world.

Sorry so long, but warm weather is coming.
