I've just discovered a little black and white kitty living, I believe, under the deck of our apartment. My cats go on our back deck (which is completely closed off) all the time, and today I heard crying under there after they were in.
I went outside to investigate and here's this little cat, probably not more than a couple months old, sitting under our steps. He ran when I got close but I set out some food for him anyway.
My husband is understandably not too happy about this. He's afraid if I feed this cat, every critter in the neighborhood will hang around our apartment - opossums, rats, etc.
What can I do? I can't just let the little thing starve. Obviously I don't want to announce a neighborhood buffet either. I feel almost obligated to help this little kitty though. Help!
(edit: Shoot! I posted this in the wrong forum. Too many windows open! Can a moderator kindly move it?)
