A friend was staying over at my house and woke up to see a missing feral I last saw 7 months ago.
I WISH he'd woken me up too!
My friend had seen the cat before and since he is distinctive looking, so he knew it was him.
Backstory:
Last Winter was fierce and I finally took this cat inside because he was in bad shape.
Kept him inside a few months.
Took him outside last May and he bolted away.
Current:
Friend says he opened front door and cat was sitting in front of the door "like he was waiting for something"
Friend put out old plate of cat food from last night (I have multiple indoor cats)
He said the feral stared at the plate but didnt move.
He said he came back a few minutes later and cat was gone.
Again I WISH my friend had woken me up.
Were the smells of my cats on the food plate ?
What scared him off ?
It's nice to know he survived this long, but I am also upset because I still have a horrible neighbor who hates cats and is abusive and am worried what she will do if he wanders near her house.
Thoughts on how to handle this ?
Is this a one time thing or will he probably show up again ?
Also I should note that I still feed a couple cats out in the backyard, should I put food in new location for him back there ?
Thanks
