When you first look at these picture's, your first thought probably is these are pictures of my cats in my house, but you'll be shocked to know these are actually 3 of the strays I feed, and they live outside.
I did not pick up or bring these cats into my house, I didnt even lure them in with food, all 3 of these cats will voluntarily come into my house if I open my back door, and are perfectly relaxed inside my house.
It's a shame though I havent found anyone who would even consider adopting one, either someone has enough cats already, or doesnt want anymore. And as of now it costs too much to use a rescue for them all who requires I pay for all sorts of tests before they would even consider accepting these cats.
If only it were as simple as "these cats actually WANT to stay inside a house with people, shouldnt that be enough for someone to want them?"
A little history on each cat:
1st cat, Buttons:
Buttons was born outside, and at first afraid of people. Her sister was very friendly with people and would always come in my house. Then she dissapeared, and then Buttons warmed up to me and invites herself in my house quite often to this day, she is the most relaxed in my house, as you can see here she is sleeping.
2nd cat, Squeaky:
Squeaky was also born outside. She was caught as a young kitten in hopes of socializing her and her brother and sister, but after 2 months of trying she couldnt be handled and was afraid of people. Then she was released back into my yard, and soon she bonded with me and also came inside my house, soon I was able to pet her and play with her as if I knew her forever. Here you can see her silly pose!
3rd cat, Frenchie:
Frenchie appeared in my yard one day after being dumped with his sister on my block. At first I didnt see him or his sister, but soon his sister and him found their way to my yard where I fed them. I have no idea why they were dumped but they are nice looking cats! His sister right away had a great personality and showed no sign of any aggression, and was soon adopted. But at the time Frenchie wasnt neutered and was feral. So I got him neutered and after a few months he started trusting me letting me pet him and get close to him. Now I cant get rid of him, if im outside he follows me everywhere and always begs to be played with and petted. So after being outside he eventually trusted me that he decided he wants to live in a house again, and as you can see he loves the couch!
Here is all 3 of them together.
