    Assimilating stray into household (warning: long post)

    I'm looking for advice & hope you may be able to help.  I’ve been caring for a semi-feral cat, at my work, for several years.   In March, a second cat appeared, who I categorized as a stray – she talked to me, rolled over on her back & kneaded, from a distance of about 10 feet.   When I had her...
