12-Volt came back the very next day...

I was making lunch yesterday and I heard 12-Volt (that's the name I gave to the cat I found next to the battery of our Rav 4) outside somewhere. I went to check it out and found her outside my fence, in between another fence, in the middle of a thorn bush, in the graveyard next door (on the pic below, there is another fence behind the white fence and that big bush is the thorn bush).


This cat sure picks her spots.

I climbed the fence into the graveyard, snatched the cat, and walked to the gate but it wouldn't open. I guess families can't visit their deceased loved ones if they're in that section of the g-yard. Maybe it's for disowned family members, or criminals, or Protestants. Who knows?

I dropped the cat on the other side of the fence, hopped over as quickly as I could (and just to let you know, I can hop a fence with the best of 'em) and as soon as I hit the ground, 12-Volt calmly walked under the fence to the other side.

This pissed me off and I guess she sensed it so she came back to my side. I took her back to my yard and gave her some supper. She didn't like the box I kept her in too much so I just let her go again at her own volition.

I woke up today and my dad said that the cat was up on the patio this morning but when I went out there was no sign of her. But sure enough, at supper time she began to make her patented moans and I went out and got her from the fence and fed her.

I'm hoping she doesn't come back tomorrow because she probably doesn't realize the the SPCA will be open tomorrow. I don't know if kittens are popular down there, but I do know that they will put her "to sleep" if no one takes her. I have a soft spot for cats and I don't want this to happen. I might not bring her to the SPCA and hope that my dad and bro take care of her. This is not a likely scenario, but it's worth a shot.

If I was staying in Newfoundland (or maybe even Canada) I would keep 12-Volt myself. She's quite cute and has an easy going personality. But I'm off to Korea in less than 36 hours so hopefully someone else in the neighborhood finds her before then and decides to keep her.

Now that I think of it, I don't even know if she's a her.

Either way, I think the name 12-Volt suits both males and females.

Don't you?
