If the move does come about, you might want to consider whether you
could put up some non-permanent fencing to make a kitty yard. Given
enough room with some bushes and maybe a tree or two, Rocky might well
be content with his yard.

The place we're renting has a small (about 20x30) fenced back yard. I
blocked off all the holes beside and below the fence, and that kept Cleo
and Amelia from getting out of the yard. When we added the two kittens,
they both learned to climb the fence and get out, so I added an electric
fence wire about halfway up the fence. It only took a couple times
touching the wire to learn that if you touch the solver wire, it bites
your paw. Now all four kitties love their outside time, and none of them
try to escape from the yard.
Thanks for the suggestion. I've thought about that, and it's
definately something I might do - assuming the owner doesn't object.
