My 'Old' Cat

She's not that old, 12 years. But that's not the point. Quite some while ago she disappeared and was gone for a long time. Long enough to think something untoward happened ...
Then one day she turned up on the back door step, looking in fairly good condition and with a few notches in her ears. She came in the house but was avoiding the dogs, even the old fella who she used to groom lovingly!
After about to weeks she was gone again but she seems to live in our orchard where we see her on a regular basis. She's looking good living semi feral ...
