So FC was captured. His wound has been tended. They are keeping him over night and are releasing him tomorrow.
Part of me wants to just take him into the apartment. But that is not a good idea for FC, my cats, or me. Or it’s probably good for him to recover inside, but since he’s already pretty traumatized and my preference is for him to trust me, I don’t think putting him in a tiny bathroom in my apartment is going to encourage trust.
Or am I thinking too hard? Shit. I don’t know. It’s just that I had this ideal in my head that FC and I would learn to trust over time and he would choose to come inside. I would not have to imprison him.
But…
Still. I don’t think the vet would let him go – because the plan has always been re-release – if he thought it was going to be dangerous. Poor Ol FC.
I’m glad he’s coming home so soon though. I missed him. 🙂
It's a Thought 
Glad he was caught and treated.

Me too. He was neutered and vaccinated too.

He may get more docile after neutering.

Good news and sad news … but who knows what sort of relationship the two of you will create.

I’m glad you caught him and got him treated. Maybe you have to sacrifice a little trust for his health. It hurts, but you did right by him, even if he doesn’t know it.
Good work.

Yeah. I think it was for the best. But he’s not around this evening. I think it might be a little while before he feels safe around here.
