I don't know anything about cat psychology, being that I was raised by wolves and all, but it seems like Gus feels compelled to remain outside all the time now to watch over his domain. He never comes in anymore. He sits in a tree and looks out. He's got everything he needs though. There's food, water and cat beds in the garage and he has his little house on the patio. The backyard is like the Serengeti this time of year and Gus is like a miniature lion.
