For a while I was trying to gentle a feral cat in a room in my other house (rental property under renovation), I moved the XBOX and all my DVD/Blu-Ray discs there (unlike books, I'm not afraid of having any of these get sprayed on) -- for a weeks the house was a SCIF but pretty soon I set up one of these

for the 70 ft or so gap between the houses. Over several months I played games and watched Jellyfin, Tubi and Apple TV but didn't watch a single disk. The move freed up a lot of space in the main house so I donated of about 2/3 of the discs (not going to watch Disney's Frozen again but it was hard to decide which cut of Superman II I wanted) to the reuse center.

I got Bob B to eat treats with relish in the other house but once I moved him to the farmhouse he wedged himself into a corner and refused to acknowledge our other cats when they came around to greet him politely. He made a break for it the first chance he got although my wife has seen him lurking around our barn.
