So I let TumTum out for no good reason saved that she wanted out. Her claws are extra long and sharp since she is an outdoor partially, cat.  I usually wait until 5am to let her out, as there are a lot of coyotes around here. Still prime coyotes time at 5 but less hours of it than at 3am , letting her out. She is a senior cat at 13 years old. She loves hubby and mostly hangs out on his bed. She eats a volonte quality dry food and asks for her wet food, throughout the day. She brings us mice here and there, a couple of times a year but eats the whole birds she kills, which I was told is rare for an indoor cat.
