I do absolutely understand where you're coming from @Bradsmum.
He has only been kept in since Sunday. Thursday through to Sunday he had the choice to come and go, we haven't at any point bought him in ourselves, and have at times put him outside, as well as just leaving the window open for him to choose.
We are aware that he may well not be a stray and just visiting/over friendly but unfortunately there is also the option that he is a stray/has been dumped too. Trust me, I would love to know either way!
So we are just giving it a bit of time to see if anyone starts looking for him/notices he's gone incase that is the case, as per the vet and cats protection advice.
If there's been nothing by the weekend (when it will have been a week) we will start letting him out with paper collars on and see what happens.
If he has an owner hopefully he will go back to them or they will contact us.
If he continues to hang around and his collars stay on then we will have to have a proper conversation/make a decision about him long term as by then I just can't see how no one would have got in touch?!
It's a very strange situation and one I would really rather not be in!
We are just trying to do the best for him in the long run (find his owner) and keep him healthy and safe in the meantime whilst following professional advice on what to do in this situation.
