I feel for you, Sheila.  :hug: Before I got more "clued up" on strays and ferals we had a cat we dubbed "Random" who visited us sporadically.

He was unneutered to my knowledge and at that point in my life I wasn't sure how to proceed with the situation so just made sure he had food when he came to visit. He would let himself in the house on occasion which unnerved my cats somewhat as he was a beast of a cat. (There was never any evidence he tried to fight any of them though.)

He stopped coming as suddenly as he'd started and I often wonder what happened to him and hope he found somewhere if he didn't have a home already.

It makes me feel a little sick in hindsight because I feel I let him down. Another life lesson, there.

have you tried asking 'Alvin's owner if she has seen Ivan, Shelia? as they seemed to be mates it may be he is hanging around with his old mucker there
I don't think, now, they were bonded it was just coincidental that two friendly un-neutered boys turned up together.
Thanks for the vibes but I think he has found his own way in life by now. : sigh

while the sun is (sort of) shining he is probably doing the rounds, its meant to rain tomorrow hopefully he'll turn up then

I hope not, we're off to France for an overnight booze cruise - catflap is now locked to all non-residents.  :-:

No sign Pav.  :(

However Tufty has begun coming inside for tentative cuddles over the last couple of days and was actually found asleep in the front room this morning, I'm wondering if someone has moved in to "his" garage and he's been evicted.  :shify:

Sly continues to sleep outside in the garden, I think he's on guard.  :doh:

I wouldnt worry too much sheila, our clive was a tnr as he was feral and when he disappeared i thought we would never see him again....few weeks later he was back and never left...hes been a permanent resident for 2 years now! Sometimes i think he just needed to get out there to be reminded how good he had it at my house :evillaugh:

Have managed to blag a day at home and my heart jumps every time the catflap goes (which is almost constant in this house) so I'm like a mexican jumping bean. Hoping he makes an appearance soon.

I've decided I'm going to put the flap on in-only tonight, so if he is still around at least I'll knowand can check out his condition (and if Spike gets in again I can give him a squirt to make him think twice as his Mum - Arty Neighbour - is not happy for him to be too friendly with the neighbours and actively encourages me to be nasty to him  :-: )

Assignment is a mixed blessing, start next Monday.  :shify:

C'mon Ivan - get your butt home - you've got somewhere to call home now so how about putting in an appearance?  ;D  You'll be able to go out again.

Unless he's a stray who's found his way home now, I think he'll be popping in that cat flap again.  sooner rather than later I hope.

Come on Ivan. You've a home to go to now so no need to get into fights and scavenge for food.
The hard times are over.
Good luck with your new assignment!

hopefully he's just touring his old stomping ground to let his lady loves know he is now permanently out of action

and really, if you never see him again, Shelia  :'( you will have saved him from many fights, and kept more unwanted kittens from being borne

but the chances of his staying away for good are remote, I reckon

Difficult to say really, there's a bit of a tomcat smeel and most of the food trays have been licked clean (not something my lot ever do) but it's not definite it's Ivan as the catflap is currently unlocked to all comers.


We went through something similar with Chuby, he disappeared for a couple of days but eventually came back for his grub, and never left after that, so maybe he just needs to re-familiarise himself with the big bad outdoors for a while.

I'll hang around as long as possible today but fear I'll be dragged into the office for a meeting later. Have been re-assigned.  :scared:


Thanks for the vibes  :thanks:

So sorry he isn't back yet  :hug: :hug: :hug:  His hormones will take a while to settle down so I imagine the wanderlust is still with him. 

An open flap and choice of outdoor cat homes is plenty given his recent history Sheila.  He'll come back when he is good and ready although it may take a while if he still has an outdoor food source. 

Just hoping he keeps himself to himself and in no more fights meanwhile  :hug: :hug: :hug:

No sign of him. Of course he may have been back overnight, without setting the flap to "in" only I wouldn't know. The last sighting was around 4pm yesterday when he was in the garden.  :-:

Nice idea, Pav, but his only option is the catflap.

Could you leave a little window open for him incase he decides to come in when you are in bed.

If he came in via the catflap voluntarily before, I'm sure he'll do it again.  He obviously knows where to call home.  And given that his hormones will be greatly reduced now due to his little op  ;) I think he'll be popping home again as soon as he gets hungry.  Will keep all my fingers and toes crossed anyway.
