I haven't posted in along time. I was hoping to get some ideas from all of you.
I have one cat and a big dog. I did have two cats but unfortunately we lost one a few months ago. Anyway there is a cat that lives next door. She was always starving so I started putting food out for her. She is always jumpy and scared. When the weather got cold we realized she would climb over head in our garage and be very quiet so my cat or dog didn't know she was there. My husband took one of the cloth houses my cats played in and put it up overhead in the garage with a blanket in it. She sleeps up there most every night.
We live in the mountains and it gets very cold here. While she made it fine last winter I'd like to know if there are other options to keep her warm enough. Unfortunately we can't spend a lot. She has warmed up to my husband so much that she follows him around. When he pets her she will attack him but then rub around his legs again. I have a feeling she hasn't been treated very well. No use talking to the neighbor about taking better care of her. They are very strange people and have numerous problems.
So would you say she is ok above our garage or is there something else we can do that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg?
I can't stand to see her neglected.
Thank you!
