That is just fantastic!!! He will be an easy one to adjust to inside living!

They will be traveling in style. Those are awesome. When is moving day?

My boys have a sun room too! Not on a lake but over looking a beautiful forest. It made the transition so nice since they had 3 walls of windows to look outside. I am so happy you will take him along! You won't regret it at all. Please keep us updated here. Your clan is beautiful. Are...

Please take him with you! He is definitely your cat. I brought in 3 feral cats almost 7 years ago when we moved. I had been caring for them on my deck for many years. I knew when I moved I needed a great place for them as I really felt inside was best. I also had other inside cats. I only...

As long as he is outside, this will be the behavior that will become the norm. You will always worry about him. It is part of taking care of a feral/stray cat. I cared for as many as 4 at one time that were outside feral/stray cats. It was so hard. I even used surveillance cameras to try...

Are you still thinking of bringing him inside? So happy that he is still coming by for visits.

Thank you so much for taking in this kitty. Do keep her separated from your other cat until she acclimates. I also would suggest that you either block under the bed so she cannot get under or possibly put your mattress on the floor. It is very difficult to work with a cat that can hide under...

Thank you for the Cantharis recommendation. I do have it in my tool chest, but often forget how much it helps. I had not heard of Denes brand. I will take a look.

I have a cat that had PU surgery 2017. It was a hard recovery. He then blocked again 2 years later. I was unsure if he would survive. But he did and was doing very well. Then in 2022 he had a bout of cystitis. It was 3 weeks of agony. But once again he recovered. I always worry this time...

I would definitely keep these two together. They appear to be a bonded pair. These two need time, patience and love. Baby steps are needed. Are they food motivated? You can try plain cooked chicken or Gerber stage 2 chicken or turkey baby food. Most cats love it. Churu lickables are great...

Please do not return him to the outside dangers. Bringing cats inside is a process. It takes time, love and patience. You will experience 1 step forward and 2 steps back. I have brought 6 feral cats into my home throughout the years. Each one has had their own adjustment period. Playing...

It's never too soon to make the trap a part of his living space. You could just set it in there for a few days. Then open it up and just leave it. Then start putting a few treats inside the unset trap. This way when you are ready to move, the trap will be familiar to him. You definitely...

You gave Blacky the best life! Just look at him in those pictures. He is so happy. He had the best place to live and enjoy his life safe from harm. Rest in Peace Blacky. Look down and take care of your Mom!

He still has his hormones and with the warmer weather, he may be out thinking he needs to find a mate. That should all start to settle in a week or two. Some male cats even after neuter do continue to wander. It just depends on how used to wandering they were before the neuter. Most of my...

Waiting until you get back in a really good idea. Is there someone who could still feed him while you are gone? Even though he may have other places to eat, you want him to continue to return to your feeding area.
