Yeah, that can be an issue with some older cats (and dogs). We live on a wooded acreage near a town. People tend to "dump" cats out here. Two of our cats were born here, to stray moms. Some of them made it indoors...mostly the ones with the personalities. Others we live trapped and took to the shelter, but we realized that despite their claim to be no-kill, they do, in face, euthanize some animals. And there was one big ol' Tom that we suspect is the dad-cat for the two that were born here (to different moms, 6 years apart}, We finally trapped him, took him in for a neuter, and sent him back off on his merry way, with less pep in his peter.
We honestly think there is a hobo sign in cat language saying "these people are suckers!!!".
Maybe my brain is fried, but I don't know who that is.
Side note: Those damn Hawkeyes pulled another one out of their collective asses...
Not the guy - he’s the younger brother - I meant look at the team names in the window behind him.
I've about had it with the postal service. They keep saying they can't access my driveway or unsafe to deliver which translates to they're lazy and don't want to drive up my 40ft driveway. Seriously considering getting a po box.
They're really going to hate me this week. One order is coming in 4 packages.

Ours is about 140 feet, with a weird curve. The drive looks straight but it isn't. and if you misjudge you're off down the slope into the yard or hung up in the lilacs.
If our carrier has a larger package, she drives to the house and gives the package & mail directly to us. If we're not home, she leaves the package at the house and puts the mail in the mailbox at the top of the drive. Small packages she leaves in the mailbox with the mail.
Some of the UPS/FedEx/Prime drivers drive all the way to the house, some come into the top of the drive and carry the packages down, and some park on the lane & carry packages all the way down.
Every once in a while we get a numbnutz who leaves the package at the door of the garagemahal.

See my town has cluster boxes, so the carrier only gets out of their vehicle at every box, and it's all part time carriers, the regular lady quit a couple years ago.
They only feel like working as long as they want to. So they'll mark whatever packages they have left as unable to access to location and return to the post office. It's either too dark or too cold probably. Good thing it's nothing important.
Wow...it's that whole "Neither rain, nor sleet, nor wind, nor hail..." BS turned on its head.
Our mail comes at random times between 8,00a and 8.00p, but it DOES come.
Our box is 2nd to last. And the funniest part is, the box is right next to my driveway, so I don't understand what is so inaccessible about it. It literally would take less than a minute to drive up to my door, drop the package off, turn around and leave.
@Cybirdy saw your girl out there! Heck of a way to end!
Also how is she a senior you just moved her in!

The first 5 minutes took about a half hour
