Hooray and hallelujah, Tiger is here!! Thank you all so much for helping me worry

Showing good appetite now washing up. Thank goodness I had been calling him all day so I went out on the porch and loudly open the can of fancy feast, a little while later I looked out and saw him crawling out of his little hidey hole.

Patches is glad to see him too

if he holds out long enough he’ll get the soft food AND the kibbles … he’s trained you well

Pretty cat

He looks in great condition for a feral cat his age! It looks like he does not miss your lovely meals very often. Beautiful.

I am so happy for you, I thought about you and Tiger all day. YAY YAY YAY

Yeah he was talking to me when he climbed up onto the deck, and he let me pet his head a few times. And you’re right he does not miss many meals that’s why I was worried

as I get ready to sleep. My one remaining in house feral is sleeping on my arm, he is a total house cat now but he got out a month ago and went on a journey. Scared me to death. When he was new here but not inside yet he lived in a part of the woods next to my house. He had an unusual meow call so I used it back to him and he would come over for food. He has been inside for many years now but he decided to escape just a month or so ago. I located him by using the same meow call, it was so fun to hear him use it back again.

I am thrilled that your kitty is back. It is so scary when they leave and you know you might never know. I can sleep with a smile tonight. Not much to smile about lately but this has made me really happy. I love to hear about all the love we have for our dear, furry friends. (((HUGS)))

He’s been living inside a few years now and he occasionally makes an attempt to get out but his heart is in it, he’s too well fed. He’s sitting beside me on the couch now purring

A15 pound stray adopted us 3 years ago when we moved here. Kind of skittery, a mostly outdoor cat an very street smart.

No idea about his history, we suspect abandoned by previous residents. We call him Tiger because of his magnificent stripes.

We have a special bond: he will come for food and treats now, and even stay overnight at times. Anyhow, he disappears for a day or two, and I worry and watch and call him. And I'm SO relieved when he comes back.

These little guys have a way, ya know?

My tiger was born in this yard under the very deck where he hides in the rain, trapped neutered and released as a kitten. He is feral with everybody but me
