This is old hat for many of you but a first for me. I live in a city and there haven't been any strays around for the eight years I have lived here but now that has changed. A ratty looking very shy gray longhair kitty has been hanging around. She looks pitiful. Her hair is a mess. She is extremely skittish, runs as soon as she sees me. I have been leaving food out on the porch for her and I have seen her eating it a couple of times but mostly she is just a fleeing gray streak I see when I pull in to my drive way. The food is gone everyday, though. Should I rent a trap from the humane society and trap her? Then what? My vet is a cat specialist, I suppose I could have her spayed. Or neutered if that is appropriate. But then what? If I took her to the humane society she would be euthanized for being a scaredy cat. I can just keep feeding her. I don't want her to suffer. She seems so afraid, not a way to live, but I have also seen her lying in the sun, looking relaxed. Until she noticed me. Anyway, any advice? Becky
