      Obviously working off the same information as you, but it sounds more like he stopped him from leaving during the winter, and didn’t stop him after. Kitty made his choices and regrets them now.

        Been there. Eventually we had to stop letting him leave though because he brought fleas in. Twice.

        Actually it might’ve been three times

            The cheap flee collars do not work, and if the cat was even semi-feral good luck getting any collar on it. Tropical is usually best, but stuff that works is also not cheap.

    We have 2 of these. A nice, semi-open veranda that they can sleep on that’s not cold.

    One actually has a home but apparently is terrified of it because he always comes back.

    Feel guilty of stealing a cat.

      Cats love having affairs. My mum’s cats most certainly get some food and attention from a neighbour sometimes.

      But talking to the owners definitely can’t hurt.

        I met my “timeshare” cat cuz the grump was stealing carrots and got stuck in the greenhouse. Fond memories there. Still don’t know what he did with them. I like to think he brought them to some other thoroughly confused human as tribute.

      Maybe you can just establish communication with his other family so they know he’s visiting you and not hit by a car. Sometimes a noisy bunch of kids can cause a cat to run away, even though they love him.
