Dear Friends,
Thank you for sharing Simba with us. He sounds like he's somewhat spoiled but so what? It's our responsibility as caretakers to spoil our pets, at least to a degree.
The only thing I would change about your situation with Simba is to keep him inside all the time, unless there is absolutely NO WAY he can get out of your yard. It's so easy for something to go wrong and it's a fact that exclusively indoor cats live longer lives. I had a big gray tabby named Humphrey (I lost him in 1987 and when I think of him, I can still get tears in my eyes. He was something else...) and he started his life outside but then I decided to bring him in and he didn't mind at all. He didn't even try to get out, ever. It was like he knew we were thinking of his best. Anyway, I just thought I'd sort of bring up the indoor thing. Please forgive me if I seemed to be meddling. That wasn't my intent.
Again, thank you for sharing Simba with the world. May the Lord bless and keep you all.
My love to all in Jesus,
