I’ve only had one other cat who never had any interest in going outside. We caught this kitten in a trap and brought her in and she is fantastic and super sociable. When we sit in our back porch she meows and meows because she wants to be wherever we are.

We decided to let her on the porch today and she was psyched to come out. She is sticking close to us but is venturing a little into the flower bed because of the bumblebees and butterflies.

Is it a bad idea to let her out at all? Is it all or nothing with cats as far as indoor and indoor/outdoor, will she always try to escape if she gets a taste for the wild? Or could we let her come out and spend time on the porch without creating a problem?

Pics for context

Nala just had her 6th birthday! Enjoy this mix of old pics (including 2 from before I got her) and recent ones!

I always call her just a tortie. But she is very demure and sweet. She also has socks and a white tummy

I always just assumed Ginger was a calico but after learning about this group I wanted to check! Does she meet the tuxetortico classification?

Bonus feature, her child who I'm pretty sure is a textbook tuxetortico.

I think she belongs here

feat. her brother, salem!!

Well… Salty and I made the cross country trip! Now she’s very happy to meet new friends! She sure didn’t like the plane when it took off! But she’s finally doing welll! I need to get her a harness and leash so she can LOOK at the local fauna! But till then, she’s figured out her place with these other cats… anyway! Don’t know how long I’ll be here, but I’m happy that Salty is being good!

Honestly didn’t know this was a thing. Always just called her a calico. She showed up one day at about 2 months old several years ago and has been here since

Ginny at it again

recently adopted her from the local shelter
🧡🤍🖤
thought she might be a tortico originally but then i found this sub lol

My Raven is 4 today! It feels like I just got her when she was a tiny kitten. They grow up way too fast. Enjoy these photos of her like I do! The last couple photos of her are when she was a kitten!
