You don’t. You just trust that they will eventually.
Why do ya’ll keep outdoor cats? I’m actually curious.
She too much enjoyed making me open the door for her (day or night) only to look at me like I’m an idiot and walking off again. Multiple times. Until she finally came back inside, to eat and sleep, and then do the exact same thing again about going outside.
Damn, I miss that spoilt sociopath of a cat 🙁
food brings them back.
We don’t dare question the master, as it not out places as mere servants. The masters will be back when the master will it. You better have canned tuna and cat nip a the ready for their return.
