Hello all,
I will make this brief; I currently have 4 cats who get along well. All are rescues. There's a 5th kitty now begging to be brought in to my home; he's about 5 months old, alone, and it's -20 degrees outside tonight (that's -4 farenheit for you american folks). I've been feeding him for about 3 months now. When he sees me, he comes running, meowing, and rolls around on the ground. If I open the door *right now*, he'll cautiously walk in and go rub noses with my cats, but then panics and wants out of the house. If I close the door, obviously, he goes berserk and hides.
2 of my cats are indifferent, one seems skittish around him, and the other avoids him but hisses if he gets too close.
Can I safely let him in and close the door, hoping he'll get used to things in time...or will I be harming him?
HELP! I don't want to leave him outside if I don't have to.
