I will try to make a long story short. A stray cat showed up. I've had her for about 6 weeks now. Very friendly, lovable. I had her fixed, shots and what not. Dd fell in love with her and posted her pic on face book. One of her friends that moved to another town told her it was their cat. That she was let outside and just disappeared. I saw her mom and asked her if she wanted her back, she didn't have to reimburse me, "No" was the answer. The story I got from the prior "owner" was that her daughter found her and wanted to keep her. They took her in when they found out she was pregnant. They found homes for all the kittens, let her out and she got pregnant again. It was getting cold out so they keep her and the 2nd litter of kittens in the house in a crawl space off a bed room up stairs. They found homes for the kittens tried to find a home for the mother cat but she doesn't get along with other cats so they were going to bring her to the Human Society. A friend of the family feels that mother cat was dumped and now I have her. I believe the prior owner had a resident cat and mother cat was kept in the crawl space for both litters.
I have two cats, they are about 10 or 11 months, they are indoor only cats. The stray, we named her Minnie. Attacks them when she sees them or "hunts" them getting ready to pounce. I understand it takes more time then six weeks. I have a separate room for Minnie. Sometimes I will let Minnie out into the house to wander and put the other cats in our room with the door shut. I do let Minnie outside but it seems that she doesn't like it. She will hang very close to the house and cry running back and forth to the doors to be let in. I'm a worried mommy when it comes to my fur baby's. I guess what I'm trying to do is get reassurance that I'm doing the right thing for Minnie. When she is in the house she paces but when I let her out she would like to come back in.
Any thoughts or advice. I feel Minnie would do better as an outside cat and come in at night and during bad weather.
