I'm glad you found your kitten! We have two indoor cats and I am so paranoid that they will get out and be run over as we live on a main street and that happened to one of my cats 4 years ago.
We all get so attached to our pets!
Do you have to worry about coyotes too? Just north of us it is a big concern.
Oh yes, coyotes come into our orchard all the time. Three weeks ago there was some coyote poop about 15 ft from our fenced in back porch!!!
In the past, we've had 3 cats that disappeared, never to be seen again & we are sure that the coyotes were to blame. I still miss my little kitties -- Tillie, Lil' Cat & Chloe.
