[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our sweet indoor cat ran out a few days ago and we know he is close by (see him on front door cam).

I expect he is having a blast outside and want to prevent a future escape. 
He was a rescue off the streets and does have outdoor experience (meaning, I would think he knows how to find food). 
[b]The adoption agency was insistent we keep him indoor (not sure why)[/b]. 
We have put water and food outside, along with his bed and other things he likes and have his hair on them. 
But so far, he doesn’t come around when we call him or jingle his food bowl / treat bag. I go around at all different times: dawn, dusk, nighttime, etc. He’s on the front door cam shortly I go back inside.

Assuming we get him back inside, what is the best way to handle his return? I worry about ticks, worms, etc. A vet visit seems reasonable, don’t you think?
(That was lots of questions. Thank you for any ideas!)

Maybe because the life of an outdoor cat is generally 10% of the life of an indoor cat? Maybe because they are destructive to your neighbours and the local environment? [/quote]
