Should I endow with a stray cat some of my cats food?
I always see it at the same time every day by my house. It is super shy and runs whenever it see ancestors. Its White with Orange spots. Should i put out a bowl of my Siame's cats food. He eats Deli-Cat. It is not diet food or anything like that it is usual cat food.
If your going to go that far as to feed and encourage it to come final you may as well take it in which would also be nice and amazingly helpful. :) im SURE the kitty would appriciate it and if you have any kids... Xmas is coming up and kids love kitty and puppies... ect ect. So whether you consider it keep feeding and try to find the time it comes around for food and try petting it and talking to it and train it to reconize your vioce and trust you consequently it would be alot easyer to take it in. as it would feel more comfortable.
Feed the cat if you want to. But If the cat can be tamed, taken to the vet or brought inside contained by time shy cats can be made to trust people if given the time and attention. do so, because feeding it solely adds to the over population of cats if it is unfixed. I was told whether you feed a cat that clearly does not have a home, it become your responsibility if you do indeed start feeding it. owner of two once feral cats and two abandoned cats. If adjectives else fails try calling a rescue organization. I would not call the pound because they would probably put it down as anyone not adoptable. That is why I have two once feral cats.
What the hell is matnece? You wrote it in an answer. Do you not know how to spell?
In my opinion, it could be either a stray or feral. My cat for example is not feral but exceptionally shy of most humans. The best thing for the cat (stray or feral) would be to catch it (using a humane trap) and taking it to a local shelter. you could feed it whether you like but it probably will be back often and its not necessarily the best article for it.
If your able to hold another cat I would keep food out because if you keep feed it it might never leave, but if you can't keep it that doesn't mingy you can't stop feeding it. Just put the food farther and farther away from your house every day and soon it will disappear you alone.
When I be a kid, one of the jobs I had was to nurture the cats. I usually fed them outside when the weather be nice and took the bowls inside after they were done. One day, I saw an orange cat sneaking over to one of the bowls. They be all empty so I took some food over to one and filled it. The cat be scared of me so it took off. After a day or two, I notice the cat would appear under some bushes at around the same time that I fed our other cats. I started taking a bowl of food over to the cat. At first, he would run absent when I walked over to where he was and consequently come out to eat when I was gone. After a while, he would stay when I brought the food over. Eventually, he let me pet him and even pick him up. He done up staying with us for the rest of his life. The interesting thing nearly this cat was he didn't really seem like a feral cat that never have any contact with people. We guessed that he had once be someones pet but had either run away or be dumped. The fact that he became used to being around citizens so quickly seemed to bear this out. I've never see a truly feral cat act this way.
well i think you should that would be nice but it might stay your external cat if you feed it because it will keep coming stern for more food
You can do that if you want, because I imagine that the cat just desires a home, but be aware that once you start to feed it, it'll keep on returning to your house for more food. But, whether you did that, it would be really nice! Maybe you should try and find out if it belongs to someone. Good Luck.
you can do whatever you want with your catfood..whether you feed it to a stray though you should be prepared to see a lot more of that cat and honestly when you have stray cats running around your patio it seems kind of dirty. Since you obviously caution for that animal i think you should adopt it, think of how cold it will be for him this winter if he doesn't enjoy a warm place to sleep.
It's a good entry to do to keep an outdoor cat healthy. They don't often catch regular food on a steady basis, so it will help him. Put out a bowl of hose too, they can sue that as well.
I think it would be really nice if you did.
Once you start feed it, it will probably open up to you.
Just one thing though, if you start feed it, it will come to you expecting food everyday.
But if you fed it you would be doing something really nice. :D
You can, but expect to have a stray cat being around your house a LOT!
Answers: It's not a stray. It's feral.
If it's a male, you might not want to encourage it to come back. It will eventually scrap with your house kitty.
The feral cat can also be carrying disease or mites. The feral cat WILL have fleas. You may not want your house kitty getting mites or some of the diseases. My dad doesn't like it when the cats own fleas, because fleas can bite people too.
Feed the feral cat only if you want to inspire it to stick around. Leave a water dish outside all the time, but get the food dish out and bring it back in when empty. Put the food down, afterwards sit down at a distance from the food. Try to get the cat used to your presence. Eventually, you can have the cat eat while you're sitting right subsequent to it. Some feral cats will become tame, and some won't. Wear gloves if you're going to try to touch it -- a feral cat may slap your hand, and whether the claws are even slightly out, you'll get scratched.
Been there, done that. My feral cat would eat on the porch while I be sitting right next to the dish, but she wouldn't let me touch her. Unfortunately, she got eat by coyotes before she became any tamer than that.
