Tortie has probably had more homes than lives. She was left behind by a less-than-responsible neighbor about 10 years ago and has roamed our street ever since. Plenty of people had tried, but Tort refuses to give up her migrant lifestyle and be an indoor cat. So she squats at whatever home will take her in until they move out of the neighborhood. It may sound cruel that she is always left behind, but we’ve had many neighborhood discussions about this. We inevitably decide it’s best that she stay on our street since she knows it so well. And she’s probably safer because it is a short dead-end street. So she continues her transient ways and knows that there is chow 24x7 on my porch, which yard has the best sun in the afternoon, and if she’s ever in trouble, one of us will be rushing her to the vet. Every cat should be so lucky!
