There's a feral cat in our neighborhood that our neighbor looks after (they've had it spayed, shots given, micro-chipped, have a shelter for it etc). "Other Cat" as we call her, started coming around our house when we got a cat (booth are female), our cat was very interested and they became "window buddies" meowing at each other through the window and lying down on either side of the glass hanging out together. Lately though our cat seems bored with this friendship but Other Cat is always at the door, and I mean always. Our cat runs over to say hi but then walks away and Other Cat looks heartbroken. Other Cat has even started pawing at the glass and rolling around on her back but our cat just throws her some shade and walks away. I'm getting flashbacks from high school and therefore feel really bad for Other Cat.
I'm not sure what my question is, but I guess I'm wondering if it's a good idea to let my cat outside to see what happens. My cat is an indoor cat, but was a stray in her previous life. I'm worried that she'll come in with fleas, or maybe Other Cat is acting all friendly but will start a fight as soon as our cat goes outside, or maybe she's trying to lure my cat outside so they can take off together like Thelma and Louise.
I'm open to thoughts!
