When I was in the front yard, watering in the pre-emergent the second time today, I had the garage door open. I thought I had the door to the house from the garage closed, but it did not latch. At one point, I looked up to see Haiku standing at the garage door, looking around kind of lost, and crying. Haiku does this a lot inside the house, so I really do believe the veterinarian was correct in saying she has dementia. I went over to her, and tried to pick her up, and told her "No, you cannot come out." She turned around and ran into the house.
While I was dealing with Haiku, I noticed that Taki had made her way into the garage, and when she heard me, returned to the house.
Disaster averted! Neither cat has an identity chip, nor do they wear collars and tags, as they are not every allowed outside (except, evidently today.) If they had escaped, it would have been a disaster. I cannot count on them to come to me when I call their name. They do not know about cars, children or dogs. They could not suffer the cold, and they could not fend for themselves by hunting.
Thank you, for tending to my cats.
