I let the Pirate Girls go outside a few hours ago. About ten minutes ago, I went to check on them. Anne Bonny & Grace O'Malley came trotting into the house. Mary Read didn't.
I looked around a little for her, and found her hanging, about fifteen feet up in a tree. She had managed to get her collar caught on a stub of a limb. She was wearing a safety collar, but for some reason the catch did not release. I try to leave enough room for the cat to slip out of the collar regardless, but she managed to catch herself in the loop where the collar adjusts, so the collar pulled tighter, trapping her. It looks like she turned at least three turns hanging there, trying to get free.
I just thought you might want to know.
