barn rescue learning apartment life one radiator nap at a time

Adopted this former outdoor warehouse cat in March after he showed up half frozen at a feed store. First month he paced the windows like he'd made a legal error. Now he mostly yells at pigeons and steals my desk chair when the sun hits it. Thought the indoor-cat skeptics here might appreciate a success story.

Love this. people act like outdoor-born cats can never adapt and that's just not true.

How long did the window pacing phase last?

Maybe five weeks. less every week though. food + routine did a lot.
