I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, but it IS keeping me awake!
I just took in a very friendly stray that the vet says is about a year old and pretty healthy, but this cat yowls almost all night. My husband is about to toss him back outside. The only thing that stops him is my 13 year old daughter, who is the biggest cat fan in the house, and the fact that he's already cost us almost two hundred dollars in vet bills. (He'd been in a fight and had fleas that needed treatment.) I've been putting him in the basement just to get some sleep, but that's not a permanent solution, because when he's down there, my older cat sits at the door to the basement and bangs it with his paw trying to let the newcomer out, which is also noisy. I have an appointment for the new cat to be spayed December 15th. Do you guys think that will help?
