    Greetings, need advice for stray

    Sorry, could not finish last post, I fat fingered the Post Reply button. I meant to add she must have returned to her home after I walked back home later in the evening. Anyway, the only way I can get to her collar is by feeding her, reluctant to do this. Will see if I can find another way.

    Greetings, need advice for stray

    This evening around 5pm, I tried something different, by walking out of my house through the front door and taking a long walk to the restaurant. She followed me outside, and weaved in and out of surrounding neighbors properties, but never went out further than anyone’s property line. of I am...

    Greetings, need advice for stray

    After a prolonged silence, she came back this morning! She immediately started rolling around when she saw me. I played with her a while, but out of respect for the (assumed) owner, didn’t give her any food. She does however eat grass. And she looks like she gained some weight. I wish I knew who...

    Greetings, need advice for stray

    Well she didn’t come around today at all. Starting to think one of my neighbors has decided to keep her indoors. I am certain now she is not a stray. But I can see another cat in my future. Or maybe a dog. Before all this, it was only a passing thought, but now I can see taking care of an...

    The phone number sounds doable. If they call me, all my questions should be answered.

    Assuming she has family, what are the ethics around feeding or entertaining someone else’s animal? Why would an owned cat even seek outside attention?

    What a coincidence! She showed up this morning with a collar! Upon closer inspection, there was a bell on it, but nothing else. Wondering if only the owner would do this? I left her some hard food anyway. I plan on leaving a note on her collar so whomever did this can let me know if they are the...

    Greetings, need advice for stray

    I bought a small cat bed, a fishing “Da Bird” toy and some catnip today. She loves pursing the bird. I feel this might prevent her hunting down other animals provided she gets enough cat food. And the catnip gets her rolling like crazy. All this has given her more confidence, she just lounges...

    Some pics of my feral cat house, actually a converted dog house. The welcome mat is a good scratching pad. The house is positioned on the south side where sunlight can heat it up. There are two 6” diameter entrance/exits. I am planning to spray the inside with catnip, or whatever cats might...

    Greetings, need advice for stray

    I have to admit I am new at this, my coworker told me cat is Calico and Female. Is it possible this is a male? I am not comfortable enough to grab the cat and check underneath!

    Greetings, need advice for stray

    Thanks for the answer! Best I can tell, she roams within nearby backyards. I do recall seeing her 1 year earlier sleeping under my neighbors car. She approached me, but scuttled away when I tried to approach. I am certain this was the same cat. So my guess would be this cat was raised by someone...

    Greetings, need advice for stray

    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...
