This past weekend the family were having the painters in. Since the
mother is on oxygen, the family went to a motel for a couple days. The
oxygen suppliers delivered a tank tot he motel and picked it up
afterwards. Nice and convenient.
Saturday the painters arrived and moved all the furniture and ran in
and out with paint and supplies and lots of noise. Lucky, the dog, had
to stay. But Papa and Emanuel came by and fed and played with him a
bit. He was tired after barking at all the painters all day.
Sunday afternoon, the family came home. And Buddy came to meet them!
He hadn't been scared away by the painters. And this time he let
Emanuel get within two feet of him. He still comes up to eat on the
porch and his old scratching post and toys are out there for him. It
shouldn't be too much longer before a happy ending.

Great news, so it really is Buddy! Like you said, it shouldn't be much
longer before he gets his confidence in E and the family, and is truly
home again.

Today, they started another phase to invite him home. They left the
garage door partly open and put his things near the opening. Maybe now
he will explore his old haunts and start remembering more. He used to
love the garage with all the nooks and crannies and rafters.

Thanks for all the purrs. The family is very grateful that strangers

Thanks for the update. Still purring for Buddy and Emanuel to be
reunited, it looks promising.
