I just recently moved to a new apartment and there is a cat that comes around, female, and there are a few male strays in the area as well. She either has an owner nearby (her coat is very well kept and she is not skinny like the other strays of the area) or she belonged to someone who used to live where I am now.
When I first moved in I spotted her and gave her a few kibbles of my cats' food to show I meant no harm. She soon became very affectionate and would let me pet her whenever I saw her. The neighbors aren't sure where she is from, but she plays with their dog and steals its food...so she has been in this area for a while.
A after a month or so of her constantly being around, she stopped comin by and I was worried she was hurt or dead. The other night she came back and I was able to pet her as before. She's very affectionate and doesn't seem to be injured in any way.
The last 2 nights she has done nothing but meow outside my door all night long. I've had female cats before and it's not the meow of being in heat. I have 2 male cats-both have been fixed for some times now-and they ignore her unless they see her when they poke their heads through the blinds.
I want to get her to stop meowing before my dad chases her off for good with a water bottle and loud noises. As I said before, she could belong to someone so I'm not sure if trapping her would be okay, and I know I can take her in and see if she's chipped, but my dad would much rather be mean and chase her off if I can't get her to stop!!
