Festus was going to be an indoor only cat, but the first spring he sat at the door and meowed relentlessly till I let him outside. Once he discovered he could climb over the fence, I bought him a harness and a long rope and he continued to enjoy his time outdoors, safe inside the fenced yard.

He suffered kidney failure and had to be put to sleep, ending his life at way too early of an age.
