My kitties are doing great.
They definitely prefer cold and dry snow than wet and heavy rain.
They were having so much fun in the snow, but once warmer air came in and snow started to melt with mixed rain, they didn't really care for it.
Between Christmas and New Year, we have been home. Torako and Leo came in and out all day long. Torao is still little scaredy but he is getting much better. During this time, I have developed more trust toward them.
I used to worry all the time. I was constantly worried about them wondering away. I often got novice if I am coming home later than usual time, thinking they may give up waiting and go away.
I don't feel like this anymore. I now know strongly that kitties identify my house as their home and they mostly stay in my back yard. I know Torako and Torao go for patrol, but they always come back shortly. It's been 2 months since they started to come inside in the evening. They come inside every single day.
Before I didn't want Leo out in the evening since he was going outside of fence. But I since I understand the reason for it, I let him go out now. He wants to bring Torao inside and wait for him to come back from patrol. That is why he goes over the fence and look for him. But he never wonders away far. He never crosses street. He just goes out to look for him near by. I used to panic when Leo didn't come when I called him outside. But I feel very confident that he never goes out of yard and only reason for him to do that is to check for Torao's return.
It looks like Tora depends on Leo very much. Leo's effort is making Torao more comfortable inside the house.
I think my feeling of trust and ease is helping kitties to be at ease also.
Just within past 6 months, 3 of my friend's cats died. One died of heart attack, the other one had kidney failure and the other could not breath on his own anymore.
They were all about 13 years old indoor only cats.
My last cat I had at my parents' house back in Japan lived up to 20 years.
She was indoor / outdoor cat, but she mostly stayed inside during last 5 years of her age.
I wonder how long our cats will live... They look healthy and happy.

Torako doesn't seem to be interested in going outside for 2 days. That makes me wonder if everything is OK with her.
3 days ago, Puff made visit to our yard while all 3 kitties were there. I wonder that made Torako feel uncomfortable…???
I am starting to wonder if Puff is truly feral. He looks chubby for living by himself.
Here are latest pictures of Puff.
On weekend, Torako came inside earlier by herself. She ate, and she kept calling me with very sweet meow. Every time I go up to her room, she wants me to pet her. She is becoming very affectionate lately. I wonder if she decided to become indoor cat???
That is fine with me. She doesn't seem to mind being locked up in her room while no one is home. Yesterday, she even didn't come downstairs when her door was wide open in the evening.
Leo was out yesterday, but he decided to come back inside today. So, Leo will keep Torako company today.

Hi Kazy
I've just read every single post in this thread. What an amazing story.
Have you seen Mr Scar over the Christmas/New Year period?

Thanks WellingtonCat!
I haven't seen Mr. Scar for a while. He came few times after I stopped leaving food in the cat house. But don't see him anymore.
Puff, on the other hand, visits often even without food.
I thought about starting to put food out in the cat house at night, but I didn't want to attract neighborhood cats to our yard. Our kitties don't like intruders roaming in to thier yard.

It was snowy today.
Puff made visit again during the day. We had good look at him. He is a big guy.
I could clearly see him spraying in to the bush. Torao was outside but hiding from him.
My daughter went out and chased Puff away. I smelled the spot he sprayed, but couldn't pick up any strong odor.
I was expecting strong smell. He sprays, but no odor... what does this mean???
I didn't see Puff entire autumn season. then he suddenly shows up in January. I wonder he is traveling farther away to look for mate??

It's been a whole year since I put my rescued feral cats back to my yard.
Out of 4 cats, 2 kittens stayed. Mom and a littlest girl left. I think they never felt confortable with humans. At the vet's office, littlest girl always tried to escape while others were all calm and content.
I wish all the best for the 2 who didn't stay.
I am thankful that got brought kitties to my life this way.
They opened my eyes and my heart. I never was able to see animals as another living being with heart just like us.
I see them very differently now than ever before.
My husband still complains here and there, but he is putting up with 3 cats in his life.
He never tries to pet them but he does treat them OK. He gets irritated when I start to spoil them too much, though.
Leo amazes me. He is very royal to me (is it typical of shelter adopted kitty?) and tries hard to take care of other 2 kitties. He always make sure both cats are out before he goes out. He always make sure both cats are in before he settles inside. He is adored by 2 kitties, too. Torao, the big boy butters up Leo and Torako the girl cat loves to play with him. Leo understands what I want and he never leaves me.
I am looking forward for many years to come with my kitties!!!

Kazy, I'm glad your Husband is being more understanding about the cats.
Wow, it sounds like you've had quite an adventure! I think you're doing the right thing, allowing the cats to continue living the way the are accustomed to. They all seem so happy! I live in the romote countryside, and love spending time with our cats in the "great outdoors.'
I'm glad that there are some people, like you, that really care about your kitties and want the best and happiest life possible for them! I look forward to hearing more about how your kitties are doing!

Thanks everyone!
I am so glad my thread is giving some inspiration!
Animals DO understand and respond to your good intention. I strongly believe in this.
I think my cats trust me and believe my good intention.
I need to work harder on myself believing and trusting on my kitties. On some occasions, I still worry when they don't show up right away.
The other day, Leo and Torako came inside as soon as we were home, but Torao took off for last patrol. Catcam took his last image around 6PM.
After we were done with dinner, I called him. No show.
I sent Leo out to wait for him. No show.
All though this, I was hearing cat's mewing from somewhere….. But If I open the sliding door, I don't hear anything.
I try to visualize where about of Torao. I was getting message of him being close by and he is fine. So, I was not too worried.
Leo came back from Torao search and sat at the porch and listing for something.
Then I heard more meow. I realized it was definitely Torao's "help me!" meow. I opened the door to the garage and there he was. He must have snack in to garage when my husband went out to mail box after dinner. I called Leo in right away and Leo run down to the garage and greeted him.
I am glad Torao was meowing for me (or Leo) so we were able to find him. I believe he knew the garage was part of our house and decided to go check it out.

MR. Scar is back!
I don't have any food out there, but there he was, ripping the cat house apart.
I wonder what attracted him back again. Or, he remembered there was once food in there.
Day is getting longer. So I started to feed early evening wet food outside.
I wonder if there was little trace of smell from that?? But I didn't feed inside cat house.
I was almost thinking about leaving food out in the cat house for the warmer weather, but I guess not.
We were having 60 degree weather 2 weeks ago. Entire week was nice and warm. Now we are forecasted to have snow over night!!
I have been brushing kitties like crazy and they are shedding. I hope they are not too cold.
They are enjoying nice weather, but they still come inside at night.
I have camping trip planned during Memorial weekend and wondering what to do about kitties.
Shall I leave them out or lock them inside.

I would leave them outside while you're gone. Cats that are trapped indoors or anywhere too long can go CRAZY. Belive me, I'd had my share of stir crazy cats that destroyed our back porch when they were locked there accidentally, while we were on vacation. NIGHTMARE! Just leave them outside to be safe.Originally Posted by Kazy

Yikes. That's probably because no one was cleaning up after them. I wouldn't want to be trapped with an accumulation of feces for days on end either. Perhaps if you were a bit cleaner with your indoors or with your porch, there wouldn't be any problem.Originally Posted by Cat-tastrophe

Isn't that some kind of contradictory statement?Originally Posted by Cat-tastrophe

Kazy, I just found this thread today, and it has been riveting! Of course, there are a million things I need to be doing around the house, but I couldn't stop reading.
I'm glad your three kitties are safe and happy. Is there a friend anywhere nearby that can come to your home and feed while you are out of town? We use our neighbor girl, who will be going off to college next year.

For 2 days, Leo chose to stay inside during the day. Second day, Torako joined him.
They both went outside when we got home, but came back inside in the evening. To them, their room is the safest place to rest and sleep. (I hope they feel the same way.) All 3 cats have always come inside at night. At least for Leo and Torako, it is not because they are hungry.
Back when I had all 4 kittes inside, we went out of town 3 nights with extra litter box. They were fine. So, leaving inside for 2 nights would be no problem. I just wonder if they would prefer that or they would prefer being outside with no indoor access. I may consult Hilary again on this issue. Leo may vote for being inside.
I still get worried if they stay out too late. The other night, I called Leo and Torao but only Torao showed up. Then I became really worried and went to look for him. Few minutes later, Leo was peeking at me in the back yard!!
But few weeks before, Torao went missing right after eating dinner. Leo went out and looked for him, but no sign of him. I noticed mewing response sound from somewhere whenever I call his name. But If I opened the door, I don't hear anything.
After 1 hours or so, I finally realized Torao was stuck in our own garage!! He must have snuck in when my husband went to get mail around 6pm.
But all and all, they always come back. They always stay in our yard. They always spend night in their room.
I was looking back beginning of this thread. I remember how heart broken I was. And I am so thankful 2 kitties stayed with us. Thinking back. Torao and Torako were always together. They always came to me for snack. They always came out to play with toys. Torami or Konne never did that. I think CatCam caught Torami wondering around the other night. There is no Konne sighting since last summer. I hope they are doing OK...

We had 2 days of summery weather, but quickly got back to winter here. I hope spring is permanently here soon.
Last night, Torao didn't come home until really late. He came back once around 8:30pm, but left again. Then didn't come home until close to midnight. They stay in the yard most of the time during the day, but they all go for patrol at night. I am sure it's fun time to see little critters waking up form their hibernation.
I was starting to be worried about him. However, I didn't pick up any distress when I meditated, so I was not overly concerned. I was ready to go to bed and decided to go out one last time. I called him and walked around the house. I gave up and came inside. Then Torao showed up!!! He came inside immediately.
I always tell my self not to worry. But I still worry. Cats, especially Torao need to learn that if he doesn't come home early enough at night, he won't get to eat supper inside. I thought about leaving food in the cat house, but Puff is visiting our yard regularly now. I don't want to give him more reason to be comfortable in my yard.

Last night was the first night Torao didn't come inside since mid November.
Leo went out to search for him and he, too ended up not coming back until midnight. I waited for both of them for a while, but ready to go to bed.
Then Leo showed up with mouse in his mouth!! He was going to bring headless mouse inside!! I made him let go of it and brought him inside. His mouth smelled like blood. I am sure this was his first successful attempt of catching live prey and he looked so proud. I wonder what happened to the head of his mouse. Leo ate it??? Leo was playing with remain of mouse, so I am sure he didn't catch it for food.
Both Torao and Leo must have found mouse nest or something…. Torao was back in the yard late. (according to CatCam footage) I put out little bit of kibbles and called him in the morning. He came right away and ate it really quick. He must have been hungry.
I guess I have to let him be…. If he wants to come inside, he would. He must have found more fun out there. I am sure he would come inside from time to time. I will miss cuddling with him, though…. I hope he feels the same way. Leo and Torako are very tame and they come if I show them ZoomGroom. Torao is still little skeptical and wouldn't let me touch him easily outside. Inside, he is like butter. He just melts.

Last night, Torao came home early and came inside right away!!
Maybe he was lonely being out there over night.
After Torao was done with dinner, I sat in front of him and let him know I missed him.
He gave me very gentle meow. Ahhh, that was priceless moment.
I held him and petted him and he was very affectionate.
I think he missed me, too!

It's 2nd week of May and we are having unseasonably cold weather. It was 43 degrees this morning.
Last Saturday, we had company until late. Because of that, cats couldn't come inside. (They were wanting to come, but didn't like bunch of strangers inside.) Then, Torao decided to stay outside. I thought he needed Leo to escort him inside. So, I let Leo out around midnight then Leo just disappeared!! Torao came inside around 1 am, but he is totally noticing my distress of not knowing where Leo is. He came downstairs and mewed at me really softly. He was offering me to go look for him!! So I let him out, too.
I gave up and went to bed. But couldn't sleep very well. I got up around 5am and checked CatCam footage. Leo came back around 4am. As soon as he noticed some movement inside, (I didn't even turned on the light) he came to the door and mewed at me.
All kitties are safe now. Torao didn't come inside following night either, but I think he wanted to come inside. Catcam footage revealed Torao waiting by the door 15 min after I went bed.
I now feel more relaxed about kitties staying outside over night. If they don't come back by 11PM, doors are locked and lights are off. No food over night.
I think they all know that and all kitties come inside earlier now.
Past 2 days were rainy and cold. And Torako decided to stay inside. I will let her out when we come home around 4:30, but she comes back inside by 9PM or so. I think she likes comfort of sleeping inside. When we came home yesterday, she was all ready to go out. It looks like she has been scratching the door. Since it's going to be sunny today, I forced her out this morning. I think she will be an indoor cat when she is older….
