Aren't you afraid of animals getting your cat?

She didn't get snatched for 10 years, but disappeared almost two years ago on July 4th. My ex was a vet tech and warned me, "average lifespan of an outdoor cat is 10 years" ... turns out she was very right about that.

She loved being outside. Her lifespan may have been short but her joy density was high.

Sorry that your cat got snatched. 😥

There's some chance she got taken by a human and is still alive somewhere. More likely a fox, coyote, or a hawk got her when she was disoriented/scared by the fireworks.

My sister had an outdoor cat that disappeared, and eventually came back with a collar on. So there's definitely a chance that it was taken by a human.
