cats will always leave home to die, they know when they are about to die so they just bounce one day when they get a chance, its kidda nice cause u never find them dead they just rot away so your not a emotional wreck, besides its a fuckin cat for cryin out loud. we use to throw all the stays in my neighborhood into the backyard w/ the pits and let them have a field day watchin those fukin cats try 2 run away from 3 80pound pitbulls," i say its my own animal control!
