Spunky Pancake, as we called her, wandered over to our house with our other cat, Oscar one night when he came home. I decided to keep her. We called her Spunky, well, because she was spunky, and Pancake because we would always tell her, "If you don't stay out of the road, you'll be as flat as a pancake!"
At first, Spunky was an indoor cat. She was always acting crazy and getting into mischief. She would climb up our chairs and on top of the kitchen table. Finally we decided we had enough and she became a porch cat. She lived on our back porch for quite a while but eventually, she got sick and tired of her porch life and would continuously run outside whenever the door would open. Fearing that she would go into the road, we would always catch her and bring her back into the porch. Eventually we realized that it was no life for Spunky Pancake living on the porch so we decided to let her be free in the outdoors, even though we knew there was a risk of her going out into the road, and on October 30, 2012, that's exactly what she did and I found her in the ditch that morning. I kind of had the feeling it might happen to her, but on the other hand, even though she didn't live a long life, I knew she lived her life free, the way she wanted to live it.
