There has been a critter under my deck for the last couple of days and my dogs have been going nuts over it. I thought it was a mouse or a bird. Today I get a flashlight and look. It's a cat. And, until today, my dogs couldn't get under the deck but persistence paid off and they figured out a way. I just so happened to be looking when Moka found a way and I never laughed so hard. My girls have NO experience with cats.

She walked up to it and they just stared at each other. Moka was like "hey, you're supposed to run." The cat didn't budge an inch and was like all attitude... "yeah, so what I'm under your deck." No hiss, no meow, no distressing body language, just so what. I can tell it's not afraid of dogs at all. It had to be the biggest let down of Moka's life. I could see how proud she was that she got through, and then there was no chase. LOL. Now, she's all proud that she found something and keeps coming to me all prancing and happy and trying to get my attention to take me to it. Mylee's attention span is so short she forgot about it a long time ago.

So, I am guessing this is a ferrel cat looking for a place to have kittens. It is impossible to get under my deck without dismantling it. I know it's a female because it's a tortoise shell color, and I can tell she's not in any distress or hurt. I'll tighten up security around the parameter and give her some privacy and food and see if I can figure out why she's there or a way to catch her.
