Hi all!
My bf & I recently adopted a feral cat that had been living in our courtyard for about a year. The building manager told me that her previous owners had lived in the building and left her when they moved out. GRRR!!!!
We fed her consistently all this time and, finally, she fell asleep under our kitchen table and we were able to close the door. We live in Chicago so we were worried about the coming winter.
I don't know too much about feral cats, but we've set her up with a nice area of her own, and she has access to the rest of the apt if she wants, but she pretty much just stays in her cat tent 24/7.
What to do? We just want little Griz (she's a tuxedo) to be happy - she doesn't even have to be a lap cat.
