I think Mando's on to us. Saturday, Mom went out on the lanai after she woke up & saw him sauntering across the lawn toward our patio. She opened up the lanai door & brought his food in. He came onto the patio, saw Mom on the lanai & bolted. She left the door open but he never came back. Food dish went back on the patio under a chair & Sunday morning when Mom went out the food was gone. I left the door open later but he was a no show. I don't understand why he is so skittish--he was a house pet so he should want to come in after all this time.
Where is the closest shelter? I wondered if any of the vets or rescue places have traps.
The daughter called Sunday night wondering if we had caught her cat. I felt so bad telling her no.
