Oct 15, 2012 · Last winter a little pregnant feral cat showed up on our doorstep. I have an indoor outdoor cat and I keep food both inside and out. Anyway, it was apparent that she had become quite enamored with my (neutered) male cat. She would show up on my porch on a daily basis and I would talk to her and feed her and basically tried to get her used to me.

Apr 4, 2015 · The cat has been driving her nuts anyway and she's always letting him outside. He's been missing a month and they live very close to me. Nothing was said about the ex-husband, so not sure what that was all about. The mother just wants to know the cat has a good home.

Mar 9, 2018 · I have five cats in my home, 3 formerly ferals, 1 rescued outdoor cat, 1 Shelter cat. There was an adjustment period with each of them. Each time I took in a new cat, I bought new toys, got a new cat tree, spent more time playing with them all, and gave extra treats. The extra attention and spoiling all around made the transitions peaceful.

Jul 12, 2024 · A neighbor and I plan to take a very friendly stray cat to animal services so that she can get help and get adopted. I have never taken a stray into my car. I have a cardboard carrier box. I'm concerned about getting fleas in the car, and keeping the cat safe while driving. I'm hoping she doesn't panic, etc. Any advice, please? Thank you!

Mar 11, 2016 · Bringing an outdoor cat inside may seem impossible for many cat owners. With their wild instincts and love for the great outdoors, cats often resist the confines of domestic life.
