There is no doubt that Chitty will have to segue into being mostly a house cat. My friend, Nadine, rescued a feral cat and he became a house cat but would, from time to time, run out a just opened door and be gone for a day then come home and park outside the door and meow to be let in. I don't know how you will be able to keep him indoors in Colorado because it is such a wonderful place for a cat to be outdoors. I agree it would be dangerous. My cat Max loves going into the outdoor screened-in pool area. The other day, the pool guy didn't close the screen door properly. When I went to check on him before retiring, I couldn't find him. Then I rechecked the pool area and saw him outside, waiting by the door. That was scary because kitties get disoriented sometimes and can't find their way back. I am grateful he didn't wander away.

I think Eloise needs some new cat toys.
Did you take both cats to Colorado?

So pretty!

my cat prefers to shred paper towels. beautiful kitties you have there!

Progress for sure!! You home in Colorado safe'n sound?

Wha oh ... are you guys creeping up to adopting Chitty? They look like they might really bond. One good sign is that they are lounging near each other.
