Well I have finally brought Skittie inside. Skittie is about a year and a half female feral. I have gotten to the point were she will let me pet her, but still is skittish. The weather is dropping down to 7 today and with windchill it should get to about -5. My wife made the mistake of saying she felt bad for skittie.
That was all I needed. I placed a dog crate outside and starting putting her food inside. Today she let me pet her and then walked into the crate to eat. I shut the door and brought her downstairs in the basement. I closed off a small area, where she can't get into much. I want her to get use to using the litter. If i gave her the whole area she might just go anywhere.
Well she cried and when i let her out, she sneaked off to a small area in the corner. I gave her plenty of food and water, and then gave her a nice pet on the head.
A quick note Everyone is getting along fine. Mommie has made a great transition to being an inside cat. She has even started to get along with my wife. ( she would run everytime my wife can near.)
So now we have Four cats and two dogs upstairs, One cat downstairs. My wife wants me to find a new home now. hehe
