This is not a great shot of Farley but a more updated one none the less. We had a scare with Farley about 2 weeks after we moved in. He took off with Johnny and was gone for 36 hours. He made his way to a neighbour about 1 mile down round. The neighbours knew we were new to the area and stopped here first to see if he was his. He made it home and since then as not wandered from the house.

Johnny has a bad case of wander fever. If he is not supervised outside, he is gone. Farley is good now, if Johnny goes, he sticks close to home. I am pretty sure he would find his way home in his own time but he is small and I worry about what could get him should he be out all night. Luckily come winter he gets cold quickly and he is usually out and in very quickly.

I think my biggest boast comes with Koda. Koda was a completely inside cat in Edmonton. We took him outside maybe 5 times in the city. When we got out here we kept him indoors for about 3 weeks. My mom let him out one morning and I was nervous. He was outside for a couple of hours and then I got him and put him back inside. Since then he has been like a dog. First thing in the morning...he needs to get outside. He meows when he wants back in and comes when called. AND he is now a "mouser". Though he hasn't eaten the mice yet he is catching them as he leaves them proudly displayed where I am sure to walk. Natasha is even on the look out for a dead mouse and is oh so proud of Koda when she finds one.
