Cat Quandary

We had a scare last night.  Misu was out, and suddenly I heard hideous howls, yelps, and barks sounding suspiciously like coyotes and dogs fighting.  Then it got quiet, and Misu never showed back up as usual.  We were worried, but finally in the middle of the night she reappeared, apparently none the worse for wear.

Since she’s technically not our cat, and an outdoor one at that, it’s hard to know how to proceed.  We don’t know her medical status, and can’t afford a vet exam and routine procedures for some unknown party’s cat, only to have her keep disappearing, no doubt making her rounds to her other providers.  Yet to all intents she has adopted us, and we feel a responsibility for her welfare.  It’s a dilemma.  I guess we’ll just keep her inside after dark, and hope no kittens appear.

I was afraid this would be the last picture I had of her, but she’s back to lounging in my office as if nothing happened.
