Help, I need you're advice. I currently have the sweetest little kitty sleeping on my lap.
On Thursday afternoon I spotted her trotting across my patio and I made the first move and made friends with her by offering her some temptations. (I don't have a kitty anymore, and I miss it) She is definitely used to humans and instantly was friendly to me. She explored my apartment and stuck around for a couple hours before leaving. The next day, she came again. This time I didn't give her treats, because I didn't want to create a bad habit. But she stick around all afternoon. She wandered around, asked for lots of pets and cuddles, drank water, cleaned herself, fell asleep on my couch. After about 5 hours with me, I felt badly I had to put her outside because I was going away for the night. Saturday, Sunday, Monday I didn't see her.
Then this afternoon, she pops her head into my open back door with a squeaky hello. Her meow is so squeaky! My mom came over right after that, and she was very friendly to my mom too. We were going out, so again I felt badly for putting her outside. But 3 hours later, when we got back, she was waiting for us in the bushes!!
She's been with me ever since. Kneading tons biscuits, purring loudly and falling asleep on me too. There was another bigger neighbourhood cat wandering by just a little while ago and she got so scared and ran under my couch for safety! My heart was so sad for her! I gave her some more temptations to make her feel better.
I don't know what to do. She's clearly not feral. She's small and maybe 1-3 years old? Small, but not too skinny. She must have a family. I don't want to steal her from them. But she seems to have made herself completely at home here. Maybe she's lost? Or maybe she's not given much affection? She had what I think are a few scabs under her chin and maybe on her rear. But they don't seem to bother her that much.
I live in an area with lots of condos and apartments. And I don't really know anyone around here, so it would be really hard for me to ask around like I've seen recommended on the forum.
It's almost 10 pm now. I don't know if she is going to leave on her own accord. I'm not set up for a cat right now. No litter box, food or scratching post....
What should I do??
