Pets

The kitten, whose whole life was in a cage at a shelter is very excited to have run of a house and particularly to have discovered the windows he can access. He's definitely interested is bolting out the door.

We signed an agreement with the shelter to raise him as an indoor cat, and frankly outdoor cats don't not live long in our neighborhood. We have a 25 mph speed limit that many people like to challenge by doubling it.

The kitten's mom is sedate, clearly had lived in a home before but was dumped by her previous owners; she's obese and slow.

We watched by son's kitten and she got out. We got her back in by opening a can of tuna, holding out by the deck under which she ran. She was very interested and we managed to grab her as she ate.

Our kitten, named for "give 'em hell" Harry Truman is giving us hell with clearly wanting to investigate the world beyond the windows.

Not good.

I like the trap idea, but I'd probably end up with a squirrel or raccoon or rabbit.
