    I have never received such a detailed pic review. I’m impressed. And also thank you for your kind words.

    Miez definitely is very mature at her 12 years of age. She has been a fully indoor cat for the first 8 years of her life, then got access to a garden, then after we moved again to where we live now I was finally able to give her more freedom after carefully watching how she behaved especially in regards to cars. Had she been panicky, I would not have been able to let her out and just track her via GPS as I do now. She is an exceptionally smart kitty, which I was aware of very early on, as for example she used to command her brother to open any door for her.

    Also, this is not my garden. This is why I tried to only cover the most public part of this neighbour’s garden without invading their privacy, so I chose to have the cat and the smallest amount of the tree and surroundings visible while still showing its overall size. More of the open space would have been possible, but as it is partially covered by the hedge I did consider it privacy already as it is only visible from this angle. To clarify, the view to this tree was not covered by anything, thus directly visible from the sidewalk. I would never go into anybodys driveway or backyard just to take a picture of my cat there.

      That is very kind of you considering your neighbors privacy, we certainly could use some more of that in today’s age of fast-short-unfulfilling media (insta/tik tok).

      I certainly did not mean anything negative, I am just tying to contribute, and I quite like cats so I am trying to encourage those who are posting because it makes me a little bit less sad!

      My one and only cat-mane coon-- I had-I had for a short time. He was Benny. Father did not like him so much, one day he got out and no one did anything about it.

      I hope he was happier. He used to climb in bed and wake up with me before work at 4 or so A.M. I think he was an ‘aggressive lover’ maybe in the way he expressed himself, and thst caused some annoyance to the Father.

      Ill bet going outside for Miez was a very exciting part of his life, a new experience

        You seem like a very kind person and I hope you will be feeling better soon. Miez is also a Maine Coon, though not thoroughbred, which I am very glad about as every thoroughbred maine coon I have ever known had at least one organ failure, some even more than one. I got Miez from a farm, and she was very healthy for most part of her life, but sadly became asthmatic.

        It is sad enough when cats get out, but then to have nobody follow up on it and search is even sadder. Miez is my whole family now and thus I try to give her as much as I can to make her happy. I begged for this apartment as I knew it would be perfect for her - basically as a retirement home with not only many surrounding gardens but also a huge playground behind my house. She is also very much an aggressive lover, always demanding cuddles just like your Benny did. More often then not I’m happy to oblige.
