So, I thought I would update what is happening with my two final outdoor guys who came inside. Cinnamon has been sneaking downstairs while I am there, and probably while I am not if the door is open, to eat cat food in the kitchen from the other's dishes, and Fred has started meowing at me for his food. Zena always runs up to their room to eat with them, and sometimes stays with them when I close the door while I sleep. Quinn is still aggressive in their room with them but nothing terrible, but they will run behind the bed from him.
Earlier he came in to the tv room and meowed at Zena, while I was sitting there, lol. He looked at me and then left. They are both still scared of me and will run away so I don't think they will ever be completely tame/touchable. They will get closer to me in their bedroom and Fred has come into my room again while I am reading, but runs back to his room if I talk to him etc.
I was sure Cinnamon is planning to try to escape outside since the sliding door is there where I fed them, but he just said hi, got scared and went back upstairs. I am surprised he does this since he is the more timid one and since he is still so scared of me after 10 years or so of me caring for him. I guess the food, and freedom to walk around is a strong motivator. The other night we were all sitting in the tv room while I worked, and I heard him munching on food, I knew it had to be him since my original 3 were with me. I thought Fred would be the first one to come downstairs but maybe he has done that when I was not awake. The other night Cinnamon came down when I was in the kitchen but ran away, I will try to give him his own dish of food next time. When they eat with Zena upstairs they all eat from one plate and Fred purrs very loudly. Sometimes Merlin goes in too but he usually lays on the floor while they eat, he and Quinn always go to use the boxes there too.
