Hi. A new cat just adopted me. He just started coming over and inviting himself right into the house. He was very thin so I began feeding him regularly outside and (I live with my parents) Dad said he could stay so he comes in whenever he wants now.
I have 3 other cats 2 females and a male. The new cat who I've named Mack gets along famously with my other male, Jack.
They play fight and have a ball I'm really glad they are so friendly. Jacks really a little brat, he needs someone else to smack around instead of me. Also, we live in a very woodsy area so I feel better knowing The two are together in there together. (They follow each other constantly)
I'm worried about a few things. How soon should I take him to be fixed/shots. I'm terrifed that when he comes back home he'll run off and never come back. My parents are very forgetful, its impossible to guarantee he stays indoors for a few days. I havent even given him a bath yet for the same reason. (My other cat loves water this one doesnt) He doesnt have fleas, thank god!
Anyone know how long I should wait, or am I just being silly. I'm not worried about money, Even if he doesnt come back I'll be glad to know hes healthier and not making more strays. I just love him and jeez I'd miss em.
Shots are important too.. maybe i should just take him for those and hold off on the surgery? I dont want to endanger my other animals.
Thanks all!
