Kizzy has had an exciting day!

You will have to bite the bullet soon, and if anything today proves a good point she is not silly, she did not make a bolt for it, that then bodes well; shows she will/may take her time get to know where she is....Maybe you should go out with her in the garden and call her often back to you......she'll get it......If she had bolted then you would have something to worry about...

She has until this Thursday when from a veterinary point of view she could go out, but if at all possible I will be taking Smudgley's advice and keeping her in until Monday 25th May, when she will have been here six weeks. I have her harness and shall be getting her used to wearing it over the next few weeks. I think that Eileen's advice about taking her out and around the garden on harness and lead first is a good one - hopefully she will be able to get her bearings then. I shall be like a mother hen when she first starts "going out"!

My breeder friends cats were indoors only. One time a careless workman left a door ajar and the little Siamese queen got out...she was missing for three days and finally found cowering under the porch at the end of the block about 6 houses away...she didn't know where home was! To me, a very cautionary tale .....
