The deed is done, its over, he's back "home" which is our yard. I've felt so terrible for three days and the closer we got to accomplishing this the worse I felt. To betray a trust built up over three years by setting a trap, leaving him in the trap from 6:30 pm to after 8:00 am the next day, to put in the back of a car, and drive, to leave him in a strange place with strange people, to put him back in the car. A basically wild animal with no ability to comprehend what's going on and it might be worse for him if he did.
Tuffy was released back into our yard at 4:00 pm yesterday. He bolted out but only ran about 6 feet from me before stopping to give me a "look" I cannot interpret. Then he disappeared into the park behind us. But he did come to his usual spot to eat his supper later. I'm to check his suture area as best I can, hah! Neither of us is able to pet him though OH has once in a while got to within a few feet of him when putting food out. Boy, I'm glad that's over. Hopefully no more roaming in spring after in-heat female cats. Tuffy would disappear for up to week sometimes and we'd wonder if we'd ever see him again.
