He is eating now. If he does not mind at all, like most of the time after a good outing, I will let him stay inside for the rest of the day. He ismuch more affectionate then he had been for a few weeks. Something happened a couple of times out there and he came back totally wild and anti socialwith us. This is all resolved after much caring, feeding and enjoining him to sleep inside abundantly most days. Thank you for the cats,Lord. amen.
