You got that right
. It is a daily concern for me, just to try to get a visual of my guys outside. I do worry about their health and safety more because I can't see them close up or sometimes I don't see someone for a day or so. I am just glad Spring is finally here and temps are rising. I caught Yogi laying on the neighbor's (the abandoned house next door from me) deck sunbathing this morning
. He looked so wonderfully relaxed!!!

I went out looking for Furrarri again to give him & the others a special treat, but I still didn't see him. However, my roommate told me he saw him this morning up in one of the trees again. That makes me feel better - not only because I know he's still around - but also because he can't be hurting too badly if he's able to climb trees.
Maybe he's not as bad off as I had originally thought.

I know what you mean. When it got so cold a few weeks back, I was so worried about the poor strays out in that - in spite of my efforts to make them up warm places to hunker down in.
But they all managed some how just fine.

At least we can keep an eye out for our own since they're in the house, but with strays, it's much more difficult to keep a watch out for them!
That's exactly it.
We can't keep an eye on them!

I do hope he's better off than you thought!

Furrarri update:

I haven't seen him now since that day when I posted he had come back.
I don't know what's going on, or why he hasn't shown up since then. I'm hoping it's nothing more serious than maybe he's out "on the prowl": it is mating season, after all. I don't think a hurt leg would stop a male cat from doing their thing.


I guess I'm gonna continue to worry about him till he's back to "normal" and I see him waiting on the porch for me every morning like he used to.


Furrarri!

Oh I sure hope he doesn't keep you worrying like this! He must be out enjoying his Spring fever. Will add Furrarri to my prayers tonight. Come home Furrarri, your meowmy is sad and worried .....

Furrarri came tonight to eat dinner!


He wasn't on the front porch where they normally eat, so I went to check for him on the back porch - and there he was waiting.
He let me pet him again, too!
But when I tried picking him up, he got spooked and got away from me.
I'm thinking he's still leery from whatever happened to him, and is probably gonna be cautious for awhile. I guess I can't blame him for that. I noticed he's not limping as badly, either - thank the Lord!


I was able to take some pix of him. I'll post them tomorrow.

YES!!!!!!!!! Super news. How sweet he lets you pet him. If he is not limping now, then it was just a sprain. Probably from spring fever and tree climbing
. Silly boy, Furrarri
. glad he is home
. Don't be surprised if he is gone during the day from home, I think with Spring here they are wandering off and watching birds and doing more hunting for rodents too. I have noticed Yogi and Dixie are not out at their usual times anymore either. I bet they come home at night though when we are already sleeping. I cannot pet my ferals. Yogi now lets me get about five feet away without running off though

Pix of Furrarri, as promised.






They're not very good because they were taken at night, and he wouldn't hold still (typical cat!
).

He is stunning with those piercing yellow eyes. He looks exactly like Coalman, my barn feral, who is now in a wonderful home. EXACTLY identical to him. He looks soooo sweet. Just love pictures

Oh he's gorgeous!


And I'm so glad to hear he's back - and let you pet him again!
Also wonderful news that his limp doesn't look so bad - that must really be a relief. Of course, if he was up another tree, I have to agree - doesn't sound like it's as bad as you originally thought.

Yes, I'm really relieved that he doesn't appear to be as bad off as I had originally thought.
It's a load off my mind, that's for sure!
