That is even better as you can spend lots and lots of time with the cat. I work from home too and when I brought my feral boy inside, it made it easier to sneak upstairs and spend 5-10 minutes with him every hour or so.Thank you for all this amazing info. What if we both work and not home during the day
If he doesnt try to come inside your house, just his own shelter house, he is probably contend with it at the moment.Smokey is sitting by his house! I went outside to get his bowl and bring inside to fill with food and milk, when I was inside he came out looking for his food and then sat by the house waiting. Of course he ran off when he saw me walk towards his house and came out once I back inside. Do you think he was just saying on food or wants to come In and get out of cold
Thank you for your help!
The shelter probably tell people that because you can't domesticate a wild animal in 5 minutes and most people don't have the patience for it. It CAN be done, but patience is a must. I brought mine indoors, but it was quite an adjustment for both me and the kitties.I feed smokey on our back yard, he hides behind the fence and I peek over to talk to him and see if he will come near me. And he sits there and stares at me and closes his eyes. Little blinks and closes his eyes alot, do you think he is sick! Any advise? He still runs away when I try and come closer but he looked cold and his eyes close alot. do u think he is a ok!
Also, I hear different things about catching ferals and bringing them inside. This site tells me yes, do it but have patience and you all so supportive but if i talk to a shelter or non profit neuter and spay place they say it won't work if bring him as a house cat
