My best guess is that he needs to prowl at night (he meows like a bitch all night every time we keep him in) and there is nowhere to hide in our new yard. I tried building him a fort but it wasn't solid enough I think, he needs to feel protected. He is very fear oriented and has to hide under things, in bushes, under abandoned houses, where "they" can't get him.. causing us lots and lots of anguishing trips to try to recapture him so he doesn't die from worms/cars. Girlfriend rescued him off the street when he was about 6 months old and dying of lung worms.. born a street cat, always a street cat? Winter is coming and he'll probably die if he keeps trapping himself outside like this. Most of the time we can't even find him. We climb strangers fences and I'm surprised we haven't been approached by police.

Cat has a habit of running to his old territory, we are now on a new yard that won't provide enough shelter.

Our cat has a natural instinct to hide under our house all night, we can't get him to do that so he runs to
