Sorry PIF, but I said nothing negative, I appreciated the comments. For several reasons I would like to find an alternative to moving Topaz. First, he fills a niche here. He occupies territory that would be occupied by another (un-neutered) feral cat. He prevents what we all would like to prevent, more feral cats. Also my feral cat is also my new neighbor's feral cat (with all that implies). Option 3 is not an option, I can't see killing a cat because he is an inconvenience, besides I'm very fond of him. However placing him in a feral colony is an option locally. I also considered a no-kill shelter, but this could doom him to life in a cage. It would be great if the new owners of my house were willing to take him in. Well, here is the picture I call "Princess and the Pauper". The cat sitting out in the snow, staring in, is Topaz, the cat luxuriating in the sunbeam is Sparky.
