You know your circumstances better than anyone, RICHARD. I'm feeding and housing LBK right now and after a couple of months, he's finally coming a little nearer and he mews but only at night. (Can't figure that one out.) Perfect world, I'd take him in but my 6 are all I can handle, even more than I can handle sometimes. The vet bills are staggering. Do your best for him (we all know you will) but have no guilt about not taking him indoors. You have your life and Ed's to consider, too.
