Hi
We have a cat that's been visiting us for a few months now and I'd really like some advice about whether you think she is a stray or not.
She is extremely affectionate towards us, and always seems ridiculously happy to see us. At the start she was very thin but now her belly seems quite round (more round a few weeks ago and now she has a saggy bit near her back legs so we wonder now if she was/is pregnant) but her fur also seems in good condition, not like you would expect a stray cat's to be. She has no collar.
We thinks she must have owners though as she seems well fed, and also there is a similar cat with the same markings as her (but furrier) that we sometimes see, that we think might be a sibling that might live with her somewhere.
She is constantly trying to get in the house. If we leave a window open she will jump in the house (even on the second floor).
She has now started scratching at the windows and door to get in and meows when she sees us from outside. In the last few days when it's been cold and frosty she has been round more often, but we're not sure if her owners are just throwing her out when they are at work and on the weekends.
She seems to be at our house more and more lately, and we don't know whether we should feed her/ let her in, as we don't want her to be hungry or cold. I fed her twice when she had been at the house all day and night and I was worried she mustn't have eaten elsewhere, but she has acted like this even before then.
We would take her in if we knew for sure she was stray, but don't want to suddenly take over someone else's cat.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Karen
