Hi everyone, my name is Ally, and I just joined this forum to learn more about cats, having just been adopted by one. Yes, I'll explain....
A few months ago, a cat came strolling through our yard. It had a nice clean coat and loked well fed, so we all thought it belonged to a neighbor. Being an animal-lover, I petted her, gave her a rub, and sent her on her way. the next day I saw her again, this time, pawing at my kitchen window. I don't know what got into me, but I pulled out a bowl, filled it with milk, and set it out. (Now i know that milk is a no-no, because it can cause diarrhea). She seemed to love it though and when she was done, she pranced off. The next day she came back again, and again I gave her milk. Same routine. On the fourth day, I went out and bought some cat food, and started putting that out for her instead. That was five months ago. Now, she has practically become a permanent member of the family, and has been named Lollipop. Shes in or around the house all day, and I've built her a little house outside, and given her a scratching post. She gets wet food and dry food on alternating days.
She doesnt have a collar and I know she doesnt go anywhere else because shes with me all day, so I want to adopt her. Thats why I came on here. As a new mother, I've got tons of questions, and Im hoping you guys can help me out!
