We spotted our girl eating food we left for her on the back porch, and when we opened the door to let her in she got spooked and ran away. We left more food out for her inside and outside, and left the door wide open and sat and watched and waited. After a while, she slowly came back and carefully walked in the door, and we quickly closed it behind her. She spent the night readjusting to being home again, warming up, and eating as much food as she wanted
