I know what you mean about war wounds. My cat had a cut on her ear and it never healed up properly. She acts more like a tomcat, not very feminine at all! My little one doesn't like going outside that much especially if it's cold or wet, but she's starting to go out more now she's getting older.
The garage is the playpen for my little cat. As soon as the garage door opens, she's in there jumping on the freezer and up on the wood on the top where there's storage boxes. She'll then look down at me with that "can't get me" look, so I close the garage door and let her out when she meows, lol. I'm not letting freezing cold air into the house.
NQ, if your H hates cats then be prepared to get rid of it if he ever comes back. I know revenge is sweet, but it might be going a bit too far smile However he might get to like cats, you never know. This MLC has the opposite effect you know! My H liked cats when he was living here, but now he thinks they shed hairs everywhere and permanently got fleas so he moans about them. The times that I saw the old H was when the little cat went to sit on his lap and he makes a fuss smile
