Hi, Ive been feeding a stray/feral cat for 4 months now. He/she is a huge, black beauty and very friendly. I can rub his face and body and he loves it.
I know he./she has been 'fixed' because of the left ear tip being snipped off. I thought it was a female because she had 4 rows of nipples but I read that the male cats also have the same amount of nipples. I hav e not been able to actually see if there is a penis.....
The cat must weigh at least 10 lbs. and is long in the body and the tail.
1. Should I feed 'him' a better wet food than Friskies?
2. Should I feed dry food, too?
3. I can't get him to drink water....anything I can put in it to make him like it?
4. How do you litter box train an outside cat?
I am afraid that is I bring him in, he will claw my couch and jump on my counters, etc. He has jumped about 10' high on a fence outside to watch me in my kitchen. He is very lovable and we have a bond. But, he is still scared if I move too quickly around him (as when I am bringing him food).
But he comes back in a few seconds.
Any ideas to help me?
Thank you.
