I have a different question...Does anyone else feel like this: why is it that caring for cats gets a bad rap? Why is there the stereotype of being a crazy cat lady?
I am feeding and trying to care for 6 feral cats. I live in a subdivision and the houses are pretty close to each other. My neighbors do not like cats so I feel like they give me evil looks when they see me (maybe just me being paranoid). But I can't help it..... I feel so sorry for these cats and want to help them. I look at the cats and feel like "how can anyone not love them and want to help them?" I am currently letting 3 of the cats stay in my attached garage instead of using the garage for my car. I know feral cats are survivors of the outside elements but I want them to be as comfortable as possible and can't stand the thoughts of them in the freezing cold and rain! I put a heavy plastic dog house (with cedar shavings inside) but the cats that are still outside are not using it. I don't know what else to do to get them to go in it. I thought about putting it in the wooded area where they seem to go often instead of beside my house where it is right now.
Thanks for any thoughts! I love all my kitties!
