A Calico showed up in my backyard, she gave me all the signs, rolling on her back. I believe she is a stray, because she is so friendly. Her ear is not tipped, no collar. I already had a backyard shelter for feral cats, although she goes inside at my prompting, she goes somewhere else at night, probably another backyard to sleep. I do feed her hard and soft cat food, spend lots of time with her when I can. I think she considers me her owner. She takes my verbal and hand cues. What is interesting, she eats hard food when I give to to her piece by piece, and wants some of my own food when I eat in front of her. She eats grass regularly. But she doesn’t drink any water, at least that I can see.
First time I’ve experienced bonding with an animal, it’s a great feeling. A big caveat, I cannot bring her indoors. I was thinking her chances of finding a real indoor home would be to stop interacting with her so someone else can take her. Need advice, want to do what is best for her. Maybe take her to a shelter for adoption?
