Just keep him inside! He’s like “bro why’d you kick me out??” You domesticated him and then left him
Obviously working off the same information as you, but it sounds more like he stopped him from leaving during the winter, and didn’t stop him after. Kitty made his choices and regrets them now.
You don’t let a cat outside when it wants to go outside, their instincts tell them they need to survey everything they can see, my cat is EAGER to run out the door and then he gets outside and is terrified and wants to go hide. Not every cat is terrified but once you have an indoor cat, it’s an INDOOR cat.
Been there. Eventually we had to stop letting him leave though because he brought fleas in. Twice.
Actually it might’ve been three times
that happened
We have 2 of these. A nice, semi-open veranda that they can sleep on that’s not cold.
One actually has a home but apparently is terrified of it because he always comes back.
Feel guilty of stealing a cat.
Maybe you can just establish communication with his other family so they know he’s visiting you and not hit by a car. Sometimes a noisy bunch of kids can cause a cat to run away, even though they love him.
Did, they’re not thrilled but he’s just not willing to go back, they know he’s OK and we took him back a few times.
Cats love having affairs. My mum’s cats most certainly get some food and attention from a neighbour sometimes.
But talking to the owners definitely can’t hurt.
give him the wet food!!
So the cat distribution system also works when the cat then goes off… interesing!
