Hi kittygilchrist: what's a pet owner to do? I mean how does one wrap a pet in a bubble in the bubble? Danger lurks everywhere

When I first moved here I said that I was not concerned about alligators because you could see them but snakes well that's a different conversation.

Well a few years back while attempting to retrieve my ball from a water filled depression in a side hill I came within an inch of touching a 7' (approx) gator on the head. Never saw it laying lengthwise in that depression...never

In my view this cat owner acted within reason. The cat needed fresh air, free frollicking , scenery what better place? People place many valuables on their lanai's furniture, TV's etc without concern. Its the natural thing to do.
How does one combat random and/or how far should one go? How do you reduce risk to zero?

Enjoy your posts immensely

Personal Best Regards:
