FeralVR: I know! That would be the first thing I'd do when I win the lottery. I really want to build another enclosure, attached to the house, for my inside cats. They love sitting next to the open windows. Schofield's project came first though. In time, if things work out, we'll introduce everyone and connect the enclosures with a tunnel.
Augie: Schofield is definitely not feral - he was socialized as a kitten but kicked out of his home at around 12 weeks. Right now, he's just a little rough around the edges but is coming around fast. I have been spending more time with him, playing and just visiting. As he gets used to his new home, he's calmed down a lot. I would have brought him inside but we simply do not have any more room. The enclosure was a lot cheaper than adding on a room!
I do not know if he was part of a colony or not. I do not think he was being fed regularly, except by me. He's just too thin. Now he's on a grain-free diet, as are my inside kitties. He's started eating the dry food I set out for him now (I tried a couple of types and he likes the For Health from Tractor Supply).
I think between being neutered and then being confined, he just had a lot to get used to. Even though his new home is a palace, it is new to him and he needed time to adjust. Thanks for the tips. I am always amazed at how knowledgable TCS members are!
