    Tell me I am just a worried ex-mom! :-(

    I mean, it was only the first night - I MISS this little guy! I wish I lived in a bigger place, or with a yard and non-condo rules crap...

    Tell me this sounds normal and he will be ok! Maybe I should have just taken him and dealt with three cat stress!

    Hi Candace,

    Riddick is not happy in fact quite pissed off this morning. He spent the night in the little heated room surrounded by "other" cat smells and Daddy was in the rest of the shop. This morning I switched them around - giving Riddick a chance to explore the shop without Daddy in it. He can't get out so don't worry. He has a sack of food, litter, and water and lots of choices of where to sleep, there are even a few windows (that do not open) for him to look out of. I'll let you know what happens when he and Daddy do meet.

    Hugs, Donna

    ************************************************** ******

    PS: "Daddy" is the other neutered male in the shed...and it's a cat, not her male housemate!

    He actually sounds like he is doing better than some of my guys when I brought them home. I have a pair of brothers that hid in the closet for the first few days. I knew they came out because they left "deposits" in the litter box . Once they were out, one of them (Newton) hid under my bed for the first few months and only came out when I was not home.

    He will do just fine...

    Just found this thread. Sounds like Riddick has the best location for a cat like him! He just needs to get adjusted a bit. Glad to hear the second male is also neutered.

    If he shows up on your doorstep AGAIN, well, then you know he is picking YOU.

    By the way if/when you move, check into local ordinances first. Cranston RI passed a new law over the summer, maximum 3 cats per household! Here in East Providence, we have a limit of 3 dogs, but no limit on cats. When we strted traveling back and forth to my Dad's house, I checked with their laws, too. They, um, definitely don't allow SEVEN cats in one household! Good thing we just "visit!"

    It's great that she is keeping you updated. Hopefully he will settle in and get use to his new surroundings.

    I hope Riddick settles in...but it is still early on, so time will tell. It sounds like the perfect place for him, much better than living on his own.

    (I'd be missing him, too. Don't second-guess your decision, it was the right thing to do)
