Gypsy showed up here 2 winters ago. Was staying in the doghouse I had on the back porch. Would be here for a couple days, then disappear for awhile. Showed up again and this time I brought her in. But would always meow to go out. Never saw her using the litter box or any place else in the house. So I would let her out. Then be gone for a couple days each time. With it being cold out, had no idea where she was going. After a month or so, my neighbor across the street messaged me if I had seen her cat. After her describing the cat, I knew it was the same one. I did let her know she was coming over here a lot. The neighbor said she is allergic to cats so the cats she has, they were kept in the garage. Well, evidently Gypsy decided she likes it here better so this is where she stays now. Very sweet cat. Loves to cuddle and sleep with me. I named her Gypsy because of how she would disappear and show up again, like a vagabond.
