I suspect it will set him back a bit when we move but with gentleness on our part and with the same animals and people I expect he will do fine.
AND, I got Star in the house finally......... She has been outside since last month when she saw me frontline the others. The last few days I have made a point to feed the ferals when some of my own were outside. Which makes her feel braver and so she will come up with them and eat. I have been petting her for three day up and down her back and scratching above her tail. And she has enjoyed that. So I tricked her. A few mintues ago, when several cats were eating outside, I was petting her squatting on the other side of her bowl and then I just scooped her up, placed her against my body, opend the front door and walked inside before she knew what had happened. I have felt she has wanted in the last few days because she has been running to the door when I open it but not venturing inside.
So right now, she is sitting on the back of the couch grooming herself. It has been so hot and I have worried about her. All the other get breaks from the heat by coming inside but not Star......... She has endured the entire heat wave. The other come to the door with tongues wagging but she just lays there like she is cool as a cucumber.
I told my husband she is indoors and to not let any cats outside. He can't tell tink, Angie or dovey apart. And he can't tell Star and Turtle apart. Many times he has came in the house carrying Turtle but saying "Star is letting me hold her" and I would tell him.."No, that is little Turtle"......
I am so glad she is in. She is not going back outside till our kitty enclosure is finished!
What a relief.....
