I asked for details this morning, and here's what John posted...
I sprinkled a whole jar of catnip in the front yard. In about 5 minutes I heard my other cats howling and making a ruckus and went with my flashlight to investigate. There he was on the front lawn. He and the four Tribbles (ferals) were having a love fest on the lawn. I approached him slowly, so as not to frighten him, and kept turning sideways as he circled around me (Cats don't like frontal approaches, the see them as aggression.) As he circled, I sidled closer and closer to him. When we were an arms length close, I simply picked him up. He has not stopped talking since. He must be tired, because he is sleeping more than usual. He is all over me like white-on-rice. Big Scooter seems a little put off by the sudden lack of attention. So I scratch his neck when he is near. A happy conclusion! Yeah!!!
Today is the oldest you've ever been and the youngest you'll ever be, enjoy this day!

I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
