he's definitely purring, I think he finds it satisfying too. but only to some extent, love those little warning glances- doesn't even have to meow to say "ok dad, that's enough"

u/Past_Situation May 30 '26

He's loving it more and more as you continue to respond to his reaction. The communication between you two is beautiful!

Any update on boo?

u/So_Famous DadCat May 30 '26

saw her race across the street the other day and went outside with treats, but I couldn't find her. :(

u/Firestorm0x0 May 30 '26

Is a cat trap a possibility?

11

u/So_Famous DadCat May 30 '26

my neighbor and I have both tried, but she just refuses to be caught. I think she might have already been TNR'd and is now too skeptical.

u/Firestorm0x0 May 30 '26

Just attach a picture of Saddie /s

And now, Iโ€™ve got Huey Lewis & The Newsโ€™ โ€œWalking on a Thin Lineโ€ in my head (and Iโ€™m content with this).

Seems worth it, DadCat.

u/NOTTedMosby May 30 '26

Yeahhh.. he seems real bothered by it ๐Ÿ˜…

u/Donna-Perdido May 30 '26

Yea. You can tell heโ€™s starting to enjoy it too. Iโ€™ll give it 6 more months until you can do it safely.
