VIBES needed, he went out to the back garden this morning well after midnight, it is pretty well lit here apart from the bits with trees and scrub, he was calm, then panicked, scuttled back in to house and out a window, not been seen since ........... he does not have a collar on, but even though today it is pretty quiet round here [no bins lorries] he must be pretty scared. He will never come up to anyone, so he either returns of his own accord, or something terrible will happen, I blame my self, obviously.

It was :) Sometimes they do a little exploratory wander the first few times, then disappear the next time to scope out the wider area. Put some stinky food out and dont worry just yet! Cats are a law unto themselves!

Came back less than half an hour ago, came in to see me [made huge fuss] then back out as soon as I got up, in the end I gave him food [he has obviously not starved!], then I went out and closed the window from outside, he is a bit miffed, but I think it is best he stay in for a day.
I can hear him crunching on the chicken wings, so he must have decided he is hungry. What a character.

Yesterday it was 2.00 am and he got a bit of a fuss. Out about an hour later.
Today it was 3.40a.m., though he struggled to wake me!

Well, I suppose you are all fed up with hearing about Arthur
Last night he came in about 23.00, fed and had a groom and a cuddle, out at 23.22.
Then in at 00.37, very noisily, he needed a top up and Dreamies ............... normal.
At 04.44 I woke up, he was mewing, needed fed ........... again .............. he is eating me out of house and home!
He does not seem to be able to find rabbits or birds etc, so why does he stay out all day, where does he sleep that is safer than here?

I am glad I got him out of Cat Prison. He does love me, but conditional love ................. chicken. salmon, tinned tuna. beef steak mince, and prawns. Dreamies to top up.

Maybe he's like my sister's OH's cat. Norman was farm bred, he's a big bruiser of a cat. Not that friendly in fact extremely aloof, not afraid to use claws to get what he wants, comes home for food, drink and a warm place to sleep. My sister got him for her OH as a birthday present (OH wanted a cat, it wasn't a spur of the moment decision). When my sister moved in with her OH Norman didn't like his quiet home being invaded so moved out in protest. They saw him around for about 6 months but he wouldn't come in the house. Found out that he'd moved in with an old single lady down the road. With her he was the perfect lap cat. Curled up on her sofa with her to watch TV, slept on her bed! He still spends his days/evenings with her but comes home at night.

You sure he's not wriggled his way into someone else's affections? :) He sounds like a total character!

He is very wary of humans, so would be very unlikely to adopt anyone so quickly, but last night he came in three times: 9.00 pm, absolutely full of himself, [and it seemed to me he had a very big fat tummy], he returned at 12.00 and again at 02.00, just to eat up his supper.
Compared to my previous cats he is not at all aggressive, I think local wildlife are fairly safe, but who knows what cats get up to!

I've just read this thread from start to finish and it's lovely to see the progress you've made. He sounds a very happy kitty. And I'm glad I'm not the only one trained by their cat and woken up for a midnight snack!

He is lovely! Can't see the first picture as it's asking me to log in to Dropbox but he looks very content in the second. Very similar to our old cat who disappeared about 3 years ago.
