20. Once they get a taste of the "wild" it's hard to keep them indoors

My 2 boys are strictly indoors. Some years ago my daughter thought it would be fine to let her Eddie on the deck in the summer. Now he’s an indoor/outdoor cat (which I warned her about) who always comes home when he’s hungry, and as affectionate as ever. They keep a collar and name tag on him so people know he’s somebody’s cat.
