Did not know that :(

You can try roccat. My info is quite a few years out of date but they used to make pretty good mice. Think they're german https://myroccat.com/

If you want him to stop following you. Your best bet is to ignore him. The more you interact with him the more he's going to assume you're playing with him. If you're worried that people might make wrong assumptions about you being the owner, start wearing headphones during your walk, body language in general can be quite helpful.

If you're trying to leash him, a pole snare for dog catching would be a good investment. Might need some practice and you might need someone else to help too.

There are also sedatives that are relatively safe that you can use to lace his food with although you'd have to be careful that the wrong animal doesn't eat it and I doubt you'd be able to get a vet to prescribe you any of those drugs without first having examined the animal.

Honestly, I'm more surprised that animal control hasn't been able to catch him because really this isn't your responsibility.

Not sure how tech savvy you are but you could always buy music CDs. They are still a thing. You can also buy some pretty premium MP3 players if you know how to burn music CDs. Vinyl is also fun to collect. Browsing in a CD / vinyl shop is a great way to spend an afternoon

Looks amazing!

Can't quite remember the exact cost but because the vets had to special order it in they had to charge the whole vial rather than per dose as no one else was using it. Costs a couple of hundred pounds that lasted quite a few jabs. This was a few years ago in the UK. Not sure about the costs now.

Speak to your vet about possibly administering interferon. As far as I know the evidence for interferon to treat FIV is iffy at best but have had a positive experience myself.

Don't forget that a lot of the symptoms that manifest (weepy eyes etc) are secondary and even if the interferon doesn't help manage the FIV you might see positive effects on any secondary viral infections.

Depending on where you reside, interferon can be VERY expensive though. There might be a cheaper oral alternative but I'm only familiar with the injectable versions.

Hope this helps

Not sure about Merrell but the shoes I'm familiar with are known as barefoot shoes. Designed to feel like you're walking barefoot. Can be used for trail running. Not cheap unless you catch the last pair on clearance but if you like playing barefoot then they might be worth a shot too. I think there's a few brands that do them but the one I'm familiar with is https://www.vivobarefoot.com/
