Riddick went to his new home tonight *UPDATE* & question

A big, warm shed, like a farm tractor shed. He'll still enjoy his independence, have a buddy, and when he gets used to being at his new place, will be let into the yard supervised so he won't try and trace his way back.

He'll be fed and patted twice a day! (Knowing HIM, he'll MUG Donna for affection!)

I gave him a good holding and cuddle before I put him in the carrier. Even though he meowed, he rubbed his soft furry cheeks against the finger I could get in there. We waited in the front hall of the building for his new mom to come by after she finished work. I put the carrier on top of the radiator for a while. He liked that!

No panic. He did get quiet, and likely was lying down while I went to get my mail.

Donna came and got him - she put the carrier in the back seat of the car, and secured it with the shoulder and lap belt!

I had bought a small bag of dry food, and had two really nice food bowls that I had.

I felt kind of sad and worried...but glad he won't be hiding from the slush and the snow! Beautiful boy.

One last thing: My upstairs neighbour Trevor has been involved in helping Riddick. I had called him to make sure my plans weren't crossing anything he was planning. Trev was SO glad to hear that Riddick had a good place to go.

He told me a story about Riddick: One day he was driving to work, and went past the house just next door to our building. Riddick and the black and white cat (Lilith, very territorial!) were fighting. Then L's owner, Jan, came out of the house. Riddick saw her and IMMEDIATELY left the fight and went over to make nice and rub legs and be cute.

Trevor broke up laughing. Lilith was still in fight position:"What? Hey! Get back here! We had something happening!"

If Riddick can pour it on like that, he will be fine. Little con guy!

I miss him and hope he didn't belong to anyone...but it seems he didn't.

Bless those in the neighbourhood that did feed him and let him in when they could. He is in marvellous shape for being on his own for 4 years.



See you soon, Riddick!
