Hey! I'm going to try and make this short and sweet, but tend to ramble...lol
For the past month, give or take, I've had a stray cat in my yard (my town has no cat bylaw, so they're all over the place. It's really sad.) She is now looking pretty pregnant. My hubby said we can keep her, and one of the shelters near me said they can help find homes for the kittens when they're old enough.
She has been trying to follow me in to the house for the past 3 days, and now sits outside of the back door meowing when she wants me to come give her some love. She's a cheeky little tuxie!
I need help knowing how to transition her in to being an inside cat(How to get her to use a litter box inside, I put one outside but she's happy to ignore it and go in the trees/garden....again, she's cheeky lol) And what to do once she gives birth (I know she will pick wherever she wants, but I want to know how to try and prepare some areas she seems interested in. Also if I need to feed her more/what to feed her).
I have a 2.5 year old, who is very active. I also would like to know how to make the proper transition for them. We do have gates up, so she can't go where ever she likes, so the cat can hide from her if she wants.
There is another stray in the yard, who is very close to having kittens(foster told me 4 days to a week), and thankfully she is going to a foster home tomorrow. She's a long haired flame point siamese. So beautiful! Her hair bothers my husband, so that's why we cant keep her. This morning I was giving her some love, and miss tux was jealous, so she walked over to the cat food bag, looked at me and ripped a hole in the side....cheeky!!
Sorry for rambling! I'm not sure what else I should ask. Any advice is very welcome.
Thank you so much!
