Lil' bit of white fluff 🤍 My heart melts when I see her

The world is her oyster. I am Always happy when she returns after an adventure or a daydream under the shade of a tree.

She’s gorgeous but please consider keeping her indoors unless she’s fully vaccinated/spayed/ flea and tick protected, and closely supervised while outside.

Yes!!! And there have been so many horror stories lately of people abducting outdoor cats, I hope OP listens and makes sure to keep her kitty close and inside and safe

Thank you. I didn't realize that was happening. My void is an indoor kitty but makes a dash for it occasionally. I worry for him.

He has feline herpes and gets a wet cough every now and then so I try to be especially vigilante.

This is the real reason. We don’t realize that when it start spreading among cats and humans, it’s likely to kill most cats who get it. I don’t know that keeping them inside will protect humans but it’s a good enough reason for me to not risk getting highly pathogenic bird flu in cats.
