As some of you know she is an outdoor kitty. Not because I tossed her out but because she can't stand anything living.
I adopted her at 6 months. She was indoors for a while but back in 1998 I was a bit uneducated about the hazzards of letting your cats out. Anyway I started letting her out. She was a very skittish cat from the beginning, afraid of every one. We had no other furbabies at the time so I had no idea how she would react around them.
When we moved to the country in 99 Hannah was in heaven but was still an indoor/outdoor cat. We then adopted Niki in 01 and that was the beginning of the end for Hannah. As I said, she's afraid of everything and would just run provoking Niki to take chase. Quki had shown up by then and did not run from Niki so I knew that she was good with cats as long as they didn't run. Hannah refused to come back inside and hasn't been back in since. At the time I felt that I can't let this cat stop me from my dream of saving as many rescues as possible. Was I wrong in feeling that way?
She hates the cats but will tolerate them. It's the dogs that drove her away and I have been feeling very guilty and selfish lately. She doesn't leave the property as the dogs can't get to her in the front. She comes for breakfast every morning and I talk to her and pet her.
I'm afraid if I force her to go in the house I'd never see her again, or she'll stop eating. She's been outside for 4 years and seems aclimated. I just don't know what to do.
