What a delightful story Tweed, one that gives me much hope. Helen told me
that cats have a short memory. I can only hope that after he is caught,
fixed up and loved for a while the last three years will fade from his
memory. It sounds as though Boyfriend had a lot to forget too, and as you
say, look at him now. I'll give him Boyfriend's message when I next see
him!!

There is no progress to report. Four didn't show up today or tonight. It
is now 7:15pm. I will lock Victor Velcro in and leave the porch open so
that Four can return and prehaps feel comfortable there for a while. I'm
sad about this.
He probably got scared by his close encounter and has decided that
discretion is the better part of valour for a day or two. It is always
one step forward, two steps back with these shy ones if you miss first
time.
I think he will return but within his own comfort-zone time-scale (if you
see what I mean.)
It is very frustrating when you have his best interests at heart and he
disappears, but he doesn't know that. I am praying that the Mothership
will burn into his brain the message "get back there and you will be
healed."
I had to do the softly, softly, catchee monkey stuff for a while to get
Boyfriend, who seemed terrified of human contact, but hey, look at him now
4 years down the line. He lives the life of Riley. He spends quite a lot
of time snoozing on top of the duvet on the spare bed during the day.
When he wishes to go out on rat patrol during the evening he insists that
meowmie lets him out instantly. 20 minutes later he is back to check if
his food bowl has miraculously refilled in his absence so I have to let
him in again. When it is still empty (since he ate the contents an hour or
two ago) he then insists that meowmie gets up from where she has just sat
down to let him out again and the whole cycle is repeated almost hourly.
Although it can be irritating, "just let me sit down a bit, won't you?" I
am happy that he is now so comfortable with me that he feels free to ask.
Not only to ask, but if I take more than a few minutes to respond he has
discovered that if he starts to claw my kitchen rug I jump up immediately!
It will take time to get Four, I am sure. I hope you catch him soon to
get him the vet treatment he needs and deserves.
Lots of luck with him, Charleen

(Boyfie is sending his advice to Four: just give up and get the good
life..)
Lots of luck with him, Charleen
