Whatever happens, you did indeed get a gift of knowing his fate. Most people never know what happens to their pet when they disappear. Herman is obviously being well cared for and loved, and you gave him so much love that he returned 6 years later to say hello. It's very big of you that you can let him choose his own fate -- I don't think I'd have that strength. I really hope, though, that if he does return and hang around, that you might think of putting a collar with a note with yours and his story on it. You may well find that he's been very close by these 6 years, and if so, possibly you and his other family could both keep him in your lives.

After 6 years it's a miracle handsome Herman has returned to you, hopefully for good! I'm very glad for you because it sounds like a terrible nightmare to think you lost your beloved pet forever...=^..^=

I so wanted to force him in the house but I didn't want him to run screaming from my arms out of fear. Herman is a very gallant cat. He loves nature and rarely wanted to be in the house. I'm sad now I didn't force him to. I'm am choosing to look at his visit as a dear gift. It was.
He has doubled in size. Maybe someone is feeding him whole trout..I say teasingly. I'm jealous of those he his calling his family now. He loves people. He'll go to almost anyone. Man...this is hard.
