There's A Lot Of Cats Where I Live. Can I Feed Them?

[Gian94]

I have 7yr old cat that lives indoor/outdoor life

I feed him blue buffulo wilderness with chicken dry food mature now

the cats I have seen

they lived in middle of forest life with many aniamls like coyotes, hawks, raccoons, feild mice, garden snakes, sparrows, brown doves, and blue jays possums, I beilved skunks, squirrels, shrews, and groundhog

though living in the forest their is very big neighborhood that has big hills

so these cats are feral or street cats

their are the cats that lived indoor/outdoor life too just liek mine but I Gert scared for my cat safety

but I was wondering can I feed the other cats

Do you want to try to tame them and get them neutered or spayed?

 

[Gian94]

no just feed them their not too many but I feel bad can I feed them

 

[maggiedemi]

As long as there are no local laws about feeding them, you could. Make sure to give them fresh water everyday too. We usually recommend that you get them spayed or neutered though, because if you are feeding them, they multiply really fast and you could end up with 40 cats in a short time.

 

[Gian94]

oh I was thinking once awhile

 

[Gian94]

I only seen one mostly that comes to the house for the past 4yrs

 

[maggiedemi]

Sure, you could feed him and try to tame him outside. I did that with my male cat. Then you could bring him to get neutered once you can get him in a carrier or trap.

I can tkeep my mom said but my cat doesn't like him my cat is Territory

 

[maggiedemi]

Well, you could keep him as an outdoor cat then. Ferals are happiest outdoors anyway. Mine would rather be outside, but I want him inside with me.

 

[Gian94]

great

If you feed it fix it. Many animal protection shelters will help you trap and alter feral cats safely. Check the local humane society.

its not up to me

I just moved here

people dot mind their not too many I have seen about seven walking around

thought their owners cats also are able to walk around

my cat too but I get nervous for him to get hurt or words

people around here really dont mind because it lowers the mouse, rats and snakes people dont want that too much in thier gardens and in their house same goes with me
