She does like to go outside but just sits under the bushes next to the patio watching people and dogs go by. She likes to roll in the dirt
and chase imaginary things in the grass
, but never wanders off and doesn't stay out for very long at a time. She is microchipped and wears a collar with an ID tag just in case.
When I got her from the shelter, they told me she was over 5 years old, so I got her half price for being a "senior" cat. She was very small then with shorter fur. She has gotten to be a full sized cat and her fur is much longer now, so I think they were wrong and she was probably just under a year old then.
