Hello everyone! A small black cat appeared in my garage around 5 months ago and I've been providing food and water for him ever since. He was extremely shy and skittish and would run away as soon as he saw me. Now he spend his days on top of the outer walls of my house, don't run away when he sees me coming and even approach me when I go feed him. He still won't come down though, at least not when there's people around (he does get off the wall and walks all over my front yard at night). So, here's my problem: he's been pooping on my neighbor's backyard and she is very pissed. I overheard her talking about "trapping the cat" and "taking him somewhere far away". I'm afraid she might do just that or even worse, poison his food. don't know what I can do to make him stop going there. How can I teach him to start using a litter box? I was also wanting to take him to the vet for a check up and to neuter him. But I'm afraid trapping him will scare him even further and I'll lose all his trust in me. I would like to domesticate him but I doubt he'll get used to it. What if he runs away and never come back? Any advice would be VERY welcome. Thanks.
