I have a question for any cat people out there !
This wonderful sweet cat has been hanging around my house since about July, I thought that maybe she was someone’s cat that was just out for a daily stroll. She is a beautiful black cat and looks well groomed.
Anyways. I posted some things asking if she’s anyone’s cat and heard nothing back she is very skiddish but she seems to really taken to me.
I went out and bought some treats and put a nice comfy blanket out for her on my porch as the colder weather is approaching.
I saw her last night outside on the street late and this morning she was sleeping on the blanket on my porch. She spent the entire day there sleeping. I went and got her some real food instead of just treats and she ate three small bowls of it. I finally decided when I got home at 11 and she was still here to let her inside. She was very hesitant at first. I picked her up and I took her downstairs to my small finished basement.
I have a litter box down there for her and some toys food and water.
She loved being down there with me she was calm and so relaxed loving the petting and the cuddling.
However.
When I left she got quite worried and she is now meowing and scratching at the door,
I don’t know what to do. Do I leave her in for the night ? Or do I let her go outside ?
My plan was to wake up early and let her out.
I am taking her to the vet in the morning I have checked her fur for fleas and she is clean as a whip I checked her ears she looks so healthy. But I am still going to take her to the vet. The only reason I brought her in tonight is it’s cold and pouring rain.
any advice ???
I want to keep her. I just don’t want her to worry tonight. She seems to have stopped meowing.
I guess I have to look at it as what is scarier a night out in the cold rainy wet streets or a night in an unfamiliar place that is warm dry and peaceful.
Jus want to know if I let her outside tomorrow or what ?

....not sure you stood a chance of saying "no." 
And she's obviously not a feral kitty - - it sounds as though she definitely was someone's kitty at some point. Since you've worked hard to find if she's got a family and is lost - - - then it's highly likely she's been dumped by someone who no longer wants her. You're doing the best possible thing for her by bringing her in off of the streets!
). But that will stop, even if she does it just a bit in the beginning days here. Please DO make sure that she's spayed (the vet can check when he/she is there) and if not, spay her immediately. Spaying will be better for her AND you, as spaying too will help her live a longer life in many ways. She won't go into heat (during which she'll likely cry VERY loudly to go outside and find a mate when in heat - - and it's not a quiet, soothing meow - - it's a looooouuuuuud yowl - - not fun!). She'll also avoid some health risks that can happen to unspayed females. So in all ways - - - spaying's the best for you AND her!
