Good to hear from you and from Bday Prang. We have 6 cats and 5 dogs at our place in Rayong. We have a walled garden but the dogs and the younger cats often take off when the front gates are open. We have never lost one of them in over 10 years. In Bangkok we have a female Tabby, Tiger, who mainly lives outside. Some years ago she lost a rear leg in a roof fan but is still doing well. My advice earlier was really for those who live in busy, built up areas, with traffic, where the dangers to pets are numerous.
