I have seen crocs by the Sumpter Landing but that is a large body of water. Can you offer any advice. Thank you and again, we hope your cat is home by now. Ralph and Shirley

In Florida you always assume that each and every body of water has gators. Around here there are always gators and they move from one pond to another. Many of the ponds on the golf courses have gators swimming around....and one day when we were playing, there was a gator chasing a fox squirrel near the green we were on. Gators are fast and kitty might not outrun one. There are also large birds of prey.....and even if they don't take your cat off into the skies, they could attack. I've watched one try to get a rabbit in my back yard. Occasionally there might even be a gator in a neighborhood....you never know with these beasties.
Please, keep your kitty indoors or in the lanai. He will probably adjust to the change faster than you will....
