This morning, the cats inside the stall enclosure were missing! At first, I thought someone had come in the middle of the night and let them out-because the door was shut and everything looked normal. But Matilda, Blake,Sawyer Skeets, Quinn and Morgan were nowhere in sight. I stepped out and looked around, took a deep breath, cracked open a can of cat food and called for the kitties to come. Thankfully, Matilda, Blake and Morgan came to me! I scooped them up and put them inside thanking the Good Lord for keeping them close.

I found where a board had been pried up in the back of the stall. It led into the hay barn. I covered the hole and went into the hay barn and discovered Sawyer just looking around quite confused. He allowed me to pick him up (I am so grateful I have been working with these cats) and I put him back inside.

Quinn is nowhere to be seen. Skeets is under the haybarn and every time he sees me coming he ducks back underneath the woodpile and into the underside of the barn. I have my traps set, but she kept them so cruely confined for so long inside those traps I suspect they won’t be easy to trap. I think Quinn was the instigator and the others just followed him out. I don’t think, if Quinn does return that I will confine him. I will just hope for the best and turn him out with the other barn cats. Some cats, just don’t take to confinement well.

At least the weather is shaping up. It is supposed to be 80 tomorrow. No thunderstorms or lightning to drive scared cats farther from safety.
