However . . . we aren't sure yet if he is here to stay. We have new neighbors 1/4 mile up the road. We weren't sure if he belonged there, so we put him in a cage & drove up there. It turned out he didn't belong there. So, we brought him back here and let him out of the cage. He ran under the truck & disappeared.
I put food & a bowl of kefir (which he eagerly drank earlier) on the front porch. That was 2-1/2 hours ago & he hasn't touched it. So, maybe he had a home to go to, after all.
That could well be . . . DH & I are okay either way. If Butterscotch is back tomorrow. We would be fine with that. But if he doesn't, that would be okay too.
The transition from a 2 cat family, to a 3 cat family isn't going to be smooth. Yesterday, our Maine Coon cat, Porter, came on the porch & tried to take Butterscotch ON! This morning, after I put food out for him, Keagan saw him through the glass door & tried to go through the door to get him.
