Thanks folks - my friend Donna emailed me...she said he would get cuddles, not as much as a house cat. The other cat there IS neutered. And he would stay inside. It IS a farm, though a small one.

The thing is, since he found his way back to this neighbourhood from the Humane Society after his escape(took him two weeks or so), I want him inside somewhere for at least a month so he doesn't try it again, and has time to bond with his new people.

He will be fed - the two of them don't subsist on hunting! And there are people in there twice a day...and hopefully he and the other cat will get along.

I WILL ask the other lady if he will be just a mouser, or have affection.

BELIEVE me, this cat DEMANDS attention! My friend Irene came in one day and said, "I was just mugged by a cat!"

I am still thinking of fostering him in my bathroom, but that would be TOO small...

Lisa - I would gladly put up a shelter for him...but have to check with the Condo Board. They already quashed puttin bird food in a local feeder in the summer, but I don't know about my chances.
Sheesh- I wish I lived on the main floor again...
