I'll be moving soon to a place where i'm not sure if i'm allowed to bring a cat, but if I can, it might be an option. I'll just have to persuade my dad that his promis to 'take care of the cat' means that actual care has to take place, regardless of who does it.
Backstory: my dad cared for an eldery friend who was also feeding a former stray cat, who was now just a mostly 'outside' cat. Friend passed away and my dad had promised to take care of the cat. I offered to temporarily take in the cat so my dad could settle his affairs. The cat was brought in...
Update: the vet said he was in relative good shape, though his teeth need a lot of care. I already saw he was missing a few bottom teeth but the whole thing's a mess. In about a month we'll get it fixed along with having him neutered. Socially he's been doing really well, he actually loves to be...
I got him into the spare room and while at first he was thoroughly pissed off he just now ate his dinner and used the litter box with me in the room. Good thing i'm now able to see him do his thing because he scooted on the floor and seems irritated after going potty and he keeps going back into...
Thanks guys! i've now set up a sort of funnel system to the spare room and hopefully i'll eventually be able to block off the laundry room. I'd rather prevent moving him in the carrier because I want him to still trust it when I take him to the vet. Lets see how this goes :)
Besides the laundry room (which is too cramped) I could either move him to the larger room (european bedroom sized, not huge) or maybe finagle some kind of habitat in the livingroom. I don't think I can easily get hold of a large crate so would the larger room be confined enough?
Thanks to...
He's in a small laundry room upstairs where the door already had a catflap (he ran in there by himself when I initially let him out of the carrier.) That's also where I keep the litterbox/food/carrier. He explores the house at night and will sometimes sit in the livingroom with me (at a distance...
I put his carrier in his favourite hiding place and I think he sleeps in there now so i'm hoping it would just be a matter of closing the lid. I'm scared of betraying any sort of trust we've built up so far but his health should come first ofcourse, i'll make an apointment this week.
A few days ago I took in someone's 'outside' male cat after the owner passed away. Little did I know it was actually a stray cat that she fed but was not really socialized. I have no idea if he's had any visits to the vet or if he's spayed. He won't allow me to come within 6 feet of him so I...
