Timmy's new favorite spot- ottoman beside my spot on the couch right beside me-also where I sit when feeding him and petting him & now he took it over,I'm thrilled he's discovering chairs and things are nice to lounge on and quite alright with Mom!
Also,he likes getting brushed- whatever is in my hands I show Timmy as he's very interested in whatever I'm doing-a pen,a bag of chips,a brush ,remote control,phone- lol
I like them to fear nothing I'm holding and to understand nothing in my hand will harm them

Thanks for asking
tabbytom
as a matter of fact I'm happy to give an update that I think is simply delightful
These past 2werks I've had many DrAppts and have been away from the house for hours at a time,typically Timmy would go to his cubby and remain there until he heard ' Ma's home babies' and he'd come running out - to my surprise & delight I've left with him lying on the ottoman in the living area and when I got home he remained out in the open ... Another day as I announced my return all 4 came trotting to greet me and Timmy was right behind ' his clowder"- puts a big smile on my face
He's stepped into the front room a couple of times looking around in awe and now he even goes into the dining room by himself,without me ,and will sprawl out in there for awhile.... he's getting more confidence and slowly but surely expanding his territory
Still loves to lay on my feet and grabs my shirt or shorts when I try to leave when he's in the ottoman - it a great feeling to have someone who loves having you near them but I'm happy to see him getting less dependant - he eats without me petting him now too with Graycie & Max

Here's the latest. I couldn't find where we left off but this morning I closed the carrier while Robbie was in there eating. Covered the carrier and headed for the garage. When I stepped into the garage, Newman ran into it and as I set the carrier down, Robbie burst out of it. I don't know how he did it. It didn't break the door and I know I had it fastened securely. Now they were both loose in the garage, under the car, and screeching. I opened the garage door knowing it would scare Newman back into the house, and Robbie ran out the garage door. He was back on the back porch in short order and I fed him again since he hadn't finished the food we started with and it had gabapentin in it so I tossed it and gave him fresh wet food. He let me pet him so I don't think he's blaming me for what I did. But back to square one. After all that time of feeding him in the carrier because he was too smart for the trap, I don't see any way to get him now. I guess he will remain living on my back patio for now. Maybe the next step will just be to close him into the patio/catio and wait for him to get used to that.

Nah,hell go back in- just start again slowly .. if he quickly came right back and you were petting him I believe he'll go back to eating there - however,there's apparently something wrong with the locking mechanism or it was not fastened as you thought it was -- better make sure before you have a repeat

I may look for a different kind of carrier. The door fastener seems to be in tact. I think if he pushed on the lock and caused one of the rods to retract, the door could be opened.

They look like twins!

This is all great news! I'm so happy that Timmy is settling in and exploring more of the house, and that it seems like he's maybe making friends with your other cats! He and Max do indeed look like they could be brothers.

Cleared a little spot for Timmy to sit out on the patio- he enjoys the view and the fresh air(until I go inside- sweet boy)
I get up to go inside and he waits for me at the threshold
