    Need advice on taking in a outdoor cat!

    Thank you so much!! I really appriciate it all!! He does seem like he was used to people in some way and must of been someone's pet and got out or was left and just had to survive outside for way too long. The second I saw him on my deck I opened the door, he started to run away and I said "no...

    Need advice on taking in a outdoor cat!

    It's kinda like a stretch but not a stretch. When the vet took him out of the carrier and put him on the table he put his butt up as the vet was petting his head and the vet said "oh you like that" so I assumed the butt thing was a good thing. He does do it often and I never saw my other cats do...

    He will walk by and kinda put his back up like that Halloween cat picture. Then he will kinda rub on my leg but he seems more like he wants to come to us but is too weary. He waits for us to pet him. He will only get so close. Then he will put his butt/back up and his top half is on the ground...

    Yeah it's even hard to get the ear medicine in him. He jumps back or smells it. What does it mean when they lift their butts up? He will come by me then lift his butt up. Or do it randomly. And what does it mean when they thump tail when they are laying down?

    Need advice on taking in a outdoor cat!

    Aww thank you so much! Yeah my kids love animals but they don't understand that they can't just go up to this guy and pick him up like they used to do to our other cat. (She's been gone a year now and I swear she was the sweetest thing in the world). So they think they can just pet him. But yeah...

    Need advice on taking in a outdoor cat!

    Thank you! Well when I found him on my deck he has half his tail missing. He was friendly and let me pet him so I got him right into the cat carrier. I called a friend and we brought him to a vet she uses. He was there for a week. I really don't know what they did there besides shots, blood...

    Need advice on taking in a outdoor cat!

    When I approached him he was sitting and I was standing. I came from above to pet his head then he just went at me. No signs at all. He was just sitting there but I had just put him down from picking him up and he gets too scared when he's picked up so I think he just didn't know what to expect...

    Need advice on taking in a outdoor cat!

    Yeah I keep the kids away for the most part. I now have him out of the dog crate and just left in the room. Anytime we come in the room now he will come out from under the bed and lay on the floor by us. Doesn't seem to mind being pet and rolls over a lot. I picked him up to try to give him his...

    Need advice on taking in a outdoor cat!

    I been googling signs so I kinda know but his tail was cut off (we don't know how he lost it) so there is only a few inches left of it. Today when I was petting him he was purring and rubbing his head around and pushing his sides of his head into my hand then puts his head down and I rub top...

    Need advice on taking in a outdoor cat!

    Thank you for the advice. I did get him into the carrier with tuna. The vet said he still had fleas. They gave him a pill and frontline. I hope they are gone now cause he's been in the bedroom. I was so pissed when I found out he still at fleas. The rescue vet he was at first should of never let...

    Need advice on taking in a outdoor cat!

    He came out last night for chicken and I got him back in his crate. Once in there he let me pet him a bunch of times and was so friendly. Well today he got out again and has been under the bed all day again from 9am till now it's 12am. I have left food out and water he didn't touch either. He...

    Need advice on taking in a outdoor cat!

    Thank you so much! So far he's doing great. He went right in the cage. I pet him a bunch of times. At first he was all the way in the back of the carrier in his bed. Then he started laying in his litter. When I would open it to feed him or clean the litter he would just watch me. He pushes his...

    Need advice on taking in a outdoor cat!

    Hi I'm new here I don't know if I'm posting this in the right spot but I need some advice. I found a cat in February who was on my deck. He had half his tail missing. I put out food right away and he ate. When I opened the door he started to run away but when I called to him he stopped, turned...
