hi im new on here so hello!
I bought my 3rd cat last August from a rescue shelter. They said he was about 3 months old but when I checked him out at the vets they said he was more like 6 or 7 months old but underfed. The shelter found him on his own and so he had become ferral. For the first few months of having him he was very scared and shy-especially around humans. He has warmed up to me in the last few months and is no longer afraid of me and he gets on great with my other 2 cats. Ive tried letting him outside a few times now with the other cats and he will not come back in the house. he will come close for food but as soon as i try and grab him he runs away. It has been a nightmare through the winter and it takes me about a week to get him back in for a warm. He has been spayed so he doesnt wander but i cant get him. Its not like hes scared to be in the house either cus everytime i av managed 2 get im in hes been purring like mad and seems very happy. Any suggestions as to how I can make him normal - going in and out when he wants. I dont want him getting ill from the cold or getting tics etc ?
