Thanks, that’s a good idea too!

I actually have one already, but he doesn’t use it much, maybe I need to buy a better one where he can see the treats inside, good idea to keep him occupied though.

Thanks, yea keeping a close eye to how much I’m feeding him and hopefully he will get used to scheduled feedings since that’s what I’ve been doing with him since day one. I think he would eat a whole bag of food if he could, which is scary!

Thank you for your quick reply! Yea, I was thinking the microchip feeder would be my option for my girl. I actually already have a timed feeder, so that’s a good idea, I’ll probably end up using that for him like you said. I hope he settles down, but considering your girl calmed down at 12, I...

Hi everyone! Just rescued a stray/semi-feral cat last month and he’s been great aside from his terrible eating habits. My problem - My new cat has really bad eating habits. He acts like he’s starved all the time and will eat everything in sight if he likes the taste. He is very territorial...

She looks like my cat Maddie! 😻 She’s adorable! I think like others have said that she needs to build up confidence to stay inside, but it definitely seems like she is very interested in coming into your house. I’m sure you’ve put food in your house when she comes in, because I found with my guy...

I was actually going to comment that there’s two Ruby cats now! Yours and her’s! They’re both so adorable! :happycat:

Whoa, what a coincidence! 😮 I read your thread and that’s pretty cool that we have so many similarities with our situations! 🤗 Yea, my little guy definitely wasn’t anywhere near as friendly or close as it sounds Ruby is with you when I was feeding him outside. That’s amazing that she’s snuggling...

Her name is Maddie, she’s also a black and white cat (her photo is attached because she’s adorable too, lol).

Update! I'll start with the bad news first - We've had this little guy for two weeks now and still can't decide on a name! His personality is changing every day, first he was hissy and mean, but now he's becoming a sweetheart! I've been calling him Pickles though because it's cute. So not BAD...

Oh, I'm so glad to have lifted your spirits! 😊 I totally agree, good news is such a refreshing thing to read these days! Also, thank you for sending me that link about the toys. I actually have that Pet Stages toy in the room with him and didn't think it was harmful! I've put it away now...

Oops typo error! see edit below - He is getting better at associating the sound of the treat bag, so he gets very excited. This morning was the first time I've ever seen his tail all the way up. Even though it was only for a few seconds it made me so happy to see!

WOW! Little breakthroughs yesterday and this morning! :woo: Sorry In advance for the long post! Read if you'd like! Yesterday in the attached pics we played together and he became a lot more comfortable out of his carrier while I was in the room. Every cat I've met so far LOVES Squirmles (I...

Yea, that's definitely what I need to avoid. Will take notes, thanks!

Thanks, yeah I haven't really been able to read any articles regarding the subject, so I was curious. I don't know when they can be introduced as it's only been 6 days, but maybe in the next 2 weeks I can approach it slowly. He seems to be pretty calm during the day, so I'm hoping if anyone is...

Do you think that my resident cat will be able to help him trust us more? She's extremely socialized with people, so I'm not sure if that would help build his confidence with us once they're introduced. Just curious if that would help.

Hi Everyone! Thank you for the replies and links, you have been so helpful to me during this time! I can't thank you enough! :) Update again! No name yet, My boyfriend and I are still trying to figure out his personality, but I do have my heart set on naming him after a character from Harry...

Hi Everyone! Just wanted to fill you in on a update, I finally caught my little visitor! It turns out that he is a boy! Either way would have been fine with me though. I was able to get an appointment at the animal hospital on Friday, 3/20. and they said he was feral. He was very scared in...

Thank you all again for your replies, this has helped me ease my mind quite a bit knowing that we're all leaning towards the fact that he's a stray and not a feral. I will keep posting updates and let you know how this all pans out, thank you again! :)

Thank you for this advice Kieka! I will definitely research the laws when taking in an animal for my area.
