Ferguson Cat, aka FC, relaxed right into being an indoor cat. I’m so grateful that he isn’t miserable about being locked in. I kept him and my existing cats separated for 2 days and then I opened the door. It was vastly under dramatic. I have no idea why I have not done this with every cat melding.
I mean they didn’t get into any kind screaming hissing face offs. They stared at each other from a distance, eventually met close enough for sniffs. If they were caught off guard, there was a small hiss and retreat, but not anything angry or warlike.
We went to the vet yesterday. He was dewormed, given some vaccines and chipped. I expected him to fight that – but nope. He took all the indignities with a stoic calm.
He has looked over the outside balcony with an eye for jumping but responded immediately when I called him back. I think he knows full well that life is much better inside than outside.
Awww, he is a sweet kitty! Let’s hope he doesn’t try to get out.

He’s really not made a concerted effort to get out. I’m so lucky.

Hey there, FC π … he’s still got that lean look of a street cat, but he does look right at home now.

He’s sooo thin. I’m fairly sure it was worms because he eats enough to feed a lion.

LOL, my rescue dog Fey, who grew up on the streets of Los Angeles, NEVER ran away. She knew she was living the good life, and guarded her yard fiercely.
Woofie, who did NOT grow up on the streets, tried to run away all the time.
