New to this site and new to the whole cat thing. To be honest with you I never really liked cats but we have one in our apartment block that has made his (or her!) way into Our heart.
When we first moved in we noticed this cat, not sure if it's feral or a stray but he belongs to no one in our apt block even though a few people do leave food out for him. he was a bit run down looking so we brought some cat good and started feeding him so we knew he'd be getting some goodness out of it rather that just giving the usual tit bits that the others seemed to leave.
We feed him twice a day and he looks much better now. But a few months ago we started feeding him in the apt and he would come in eat and go ( he must be a male ) but lately he has started having a look around and hanging around more usually on the our door mat looking out the door.
Twice now the door has slammed when he's been eating because of the wind and he has freaked out and as soon as we've opened him he had fled but he does come back.
Our problem is it is now October and the nights are getting cold so him sitting on the doorstep with the door open is not working really. Does anyone have any ideas how we can shut the door but not scare him or at least start doing things to move in that direction.
Thanks for your help
