moving with cat

I'm moving and have some questions about whether to take my cat, Erdos, or not.
Last year some dick like 4 or 5 blocks away moved and left their cats (6 I think) with an open large bag of dry food to fend for themselves. One found its way into the trailer in the backyard that I was living in, so I named it Erdos ( after the mathematician noted for randomly showing up to stay on his peers doorsteps) and built a cat door for it and left food out for it and it hung out with me a lot and really seemed to like me but would sometimes not show up for a week.
I lost that place, but the landlord promised to keep food and water for the cat in the garage (and let the cat in during the winter if need be). But I only moved a block up the alley and I have a door to the back yard and even though he doesn't like my roomates dog Erdos shows up maybe 3 nights a week to sleep on my chest and purr and eat the food I leave on the shelf.
Now I'm moving maybe 7 blocks away and I'm going to miss Erdos so bad. The thing is, its a 3rd floor studio and can't figure an easy cat door setup.
Erdos is almost a 'barn cat' but I really want to grab him and lock him in my new place ( with a litter , of course) so he's familiar with it and then,let him,out and try and train him to use the downstairs neighbors window as a,way to my place. Or at least he'll know where to find me - it's well within his range from my original place where he still has food and,shelter.
So, is trying to turn an outdoor, independent cat into a mostly indoor one an idea that can work or am I just being selfish?
