Hunting season
The story
My grandma today during hunting season mind you just asked if we should leave my 2 cats outside while we go to town and the fact its hunting season and that people around here hate cats with a passion it isnt a good idea which I told her that and she instead of letting them roam around just shoved them into the laundry room were the doggy door is and the gate outside has a gap they can get out of easy if they get scared of something

Man, that's a wild situation. 🤦♂️ Leaving cats outside during hunting season sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, what was she even thinking? Hopefully they stay put and don't venture out through that gap, or you'll have bigger problems on your hands!
what's the logic behind even considering letting them out during hunting season??? i mean, did she not think that through? cats and hunters don't mix well; why take unnecessary risks?? i hope your grandma understands the potential dangers next time; do those cats even know how to navigate safely in that environment?
Not at all since I keep them inside and only let them out when Im with them
wow, your grandma must be living in a different time zone or something, 'cause leaving cats out when folks around are on high alert with rifles is just asking for trouble !!! you're right to keep them indoors. it's like she's asking for catastrophe... literally! 🙄 maybe find a way to block that gap temporarily? wouldn't want them becoming part of the hunting game now, would we? keep an eye on those felines!
We cant find one of my cats now so I think the dogs barking scared him and he left through the gap. She keeps telling me that he will be fine but my cats are the only reason why my depression is doing better.
oh shit :( I hope you will find your cat asap...
Ive called for him and heard shooting early so I hope he shows up since I left a bowl of food out and one of the litter boxes since it has his scent on/in it.
your story reminds me of a similar situation with my old cat, mittens. i once left her outside during a busy day, not realizing the chaos it would cause when wildlife was active. knowing how unpredictable things can get, especially in hunting season, it's crucial to ensure our pets are secure; i completely agree with your concern about keeping them safe and sound indoors. maybe next time you could suggest putting something heavy in front of that gap or temporarily blocking access to the doggy door. hope everything turns out alright for your furry friends!
leaving them outside during hunting season really seems risky!!!! has your grandma ever talked about why people around there dislike cats so much???? maybe she's not aware of the danger, but it sounds like she needs a better understanding to keep them safe. i once had a cat that went missing, and it's a worry you don’t wanna have! hope they stay put in the laundry room!!!
