Well, we've had a hard freeze for two days in a row now with two or three more to go. I saw Rocket yesterday and he looked just fine. He wasn't stressing or showing any signs of having problems with the cold, so he's ok.
![]() I'm glad. I was worrying about him again. At least all the pests on him will die now. He'll be flea free for awhile. I can't wait until he trusts me enough to hold him and pet him. Then I can get some flea and tick control on him.

Thanks Lady Rasta! Rocket has become important to me. Having seen him at his worst and through his life until now, I find it very interesting to watch him mature.
After his first wild mating season, he's changed dramatically. His entire bearing has changed to a mature cat who is now more aware of his world and more confident to control that part of it that he can. I think he's also been a life and death contestant in a few battles now. He has no marks on him, but he's looked pretty haggard a couple times, like he was so tired he could hardly move to eat. Hair all matted, kind of retro-wild look in his eyes... He's cleaned himself up to be a big fluffy ball of black and white patches. He's eating like a little pig again too.

Yeah, they do. My Florida room faces the screened room via a glass door. Rocket and the inside cats evidently interacted and Rocket sprayed the outside of the Florida room door.
![]() I discovered it while it was still fresh and treated it with pet odor removal solution. ![]() If I find he's done this again, it's going to complicate things. I'll have to block Rocket from the screened porch and he will be a truly outside cat at that point. ![]() I hope he got the message...no spraying in my home!

Here's a pic of the star of the thread:
(The pic is pretty bad because it's through a screen. He won't let me very close yet, and I don't want to totally freak him out with a flash from the camera inside the screened porch.)

I think that's some real sound advice. I'm going to have to wait until he's a bit more domesticated first. I think drugging him would be the only way to pack him into a traveler right now, and I strongly dislike doing that. As soon as he can handle my touching him and petting him, I'll do that for sure. Until then, I know he's got some girlfriends! Nature will have to take it's course. He is a pretty cat. He's filled out nicely.
