Hi!
I've started feeding this stray cat that is always hanging around my block. His ear is not tipped (I think he's not neutered yet).
He followed me into the apartment lift and he entered my house. At first, my mom tried to keep him out by meshing half of the gate to prevent him from coming in but he is very determined to come in. He will jumped up high and make his way in.
He came every single day without fail for a few months. Eventually, my mom allows him to come in (she loves him now!). He slept here (he loves sleeping on my bed) eat here and we'll play with him as well. We are keen to adopt him (we even mesh up our windows and bought him a scratching post) and tried to keep him overnight with fresh water, food and toys while we go to sleep.
We've been trying for months but whenever he's done eating or done with sleeping, he will walked to the door and started yowling loudly. He will scratch the door to let us know that he wants to go out.
We tried to ignore his crying and tried to distract him with treats or toys, it doesn't work. He will finish the treats and walk back to the door.
So we figured it out that he seems happier as an outdoor cat. So for now, every single day he will followed us up to our apartment for food and rest and once he started meowing at the door, we will bring him back down to level 1.
Is there anyway for him to get used to indoor? As I can't bear having the thought of what if he get into a fight or accident. I've thought of bringing him to the vet for sterilization but I'm just worried what if he can't cope with staying in while healing.
Age unknown but he seems really young. I've never seen him before till last year. Breed unknown but have long legs, colour black and white, short tail. Might be a Japanese Bobtail. Energy level is super high. He's a zoomies.
