When I got home tonight from grocery shopping I thought I heard two cats snarling at each other. I checked around the yard and called Sunny, but no response. So I went inside and put groceries away and cleaned the litter boxes.
I was about to head down to the laundry room when I noticed Buddy (big orange tabby) looking out the window with his tail bushed. I looked out the window and saw the Pepe look alike stray staring at something in our garden.
I went outside and slowly approached it, talking to it. It ran off before I got to near it. Without really expecting anything, I started calling Sunny again.
I got an answering meow! At first I couldn't figure out where it was coming from, but then I saw her just behind a bush. I walked slowly towards her talking all the time. She sort of ran from me at first, but let me pick her up.
She also kind of struggled as I carried her inside. She was definitely hungry and thirsty! The other cats are sniffing her with lots of curiosity. Which she isn't liking too much....
Other than having lost a little weight, she doesn't appear injured at all.
I honestly had little hope of her returning - and had even said as much as I walked in the door with the groceries. I'm glad I was wrong!!
Sunny's Home!!!!!!!

You can reduce the stray problem in your neighborhood by TNR - Trap Neuter Return. There should be TNR advocates in your town that can help you trap them and will have access to low cost or free spay/neuter programs. Your neighbors will thank you for solving the problem.
