Hello wonderful Cat Lovers!
Short Story: Young Kitten--4-6 months I think. I will try to get a good picture for you to help me gauge age. Meowing under deck for food for the last few days. Would only eat when I was gone. I have now trapped the kitten and put him/her in a bathroom. Right now, there is a bed he/she slept on when it was outside, a litter box, and a cat carrier in the bathroom but I just released him in the bathroom as I caught him with a blanket.
Do I need to move him to a crate? I have one, but it isn't very big. It was for a 20 lbs dog. Is it okay to let him/her roam the bathroom? He is hiding behind a box and peeks at me from either side. We are about 24 hours in and he won't eat in front of me. He also bites HARD. I'm hoping his age will make him more tameable, but don't know if I let him roam in the bathroom or should confine him a bit more.
Also, are there any articles on this? I saw the one on Five Golden Rules to Brining an Outside Cat Inside.
Other cats in the family (all but two spayed or neutered):
2--inside only from shelters
5--outside day/inside night--strays who found us--we live in a rural area
1--friendly feral--the mama of a few of the inside/outside kitties
1--slightly friendly, mostly feral--need to figure out how to trap him/her to get fixed
1--feral kitten--the one this post is about. (will spay or neuter once calmed a bit)
