This is Richard Parker hanging out on his pad. He + 4 others showed up sept/oct 2013, all about 6 mo. old. Feed all, bought this heated cat house...which no one used, only to eat, (I would place the food inside). I live in Wisconsin, last winter was horrible with sub zero temps, as will be this winter. This Oct., Parker (the only one left of them), finally let me by him to feed him, no longer put food in house + it is a heated food dish. I now have been able to pet & pick him up, tried to bring him in....worst 12+ hours of both our lives. Anywho, for the past few mo. he has been living in the house 24/7, but now, past 3 day/night, he shows up at 7am to eat then leaves again. Not sure what has changed except the weather...it's in the low teens & snowing. Any thoughts as to why the sudden change. And yes to anyone who is wondering...I am working on getting him fixed, shots, & microchipped.
Thanks to any & all responses,
