Oh, okay. Sorry. I understand now. I don't want her to go back outside. My mom said she can have a run of the house once she gets use to things. She also might have a cold. She would have died this winter if I hadn't taken her in.Umm... she's not a feral cat. Definitely not. She's Felix's sister making her the exact same age as him (6 years old). She can't have a room to herself because my parents would never agree to that and we don't have space. She's fine in the cage in the basement with my other cats. It's where she is most comfortable. Giving her too much space would encourage hiding and fearfulness.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. You had mentioned in various recent posts that she was crying all night, very upset because she couldn't find a way to escape the other day, that she had hissed and growled at you, and that the wire of her cage was bent from her trying to escape. Whether or not she's a stray or semi-feral, those behaviors are usually indicators that a cat is stressed and upset at being confined in a cage. And if she was previously more at ease coming inside and going back outside, that's something you might consider allowing her to continue to do. Each cat is very different and has different needs.
