Hi everyone. I have two cats, both which were rescued.
My latest cat was rescued about 3 weeks ago, he has been
vet checked and needled.
Two weeks ago, another little cat started sleeping on my deck.
He sleeps there all day and night and considers this to be his home.
( I don't know why they always find my house...lol )
Anyway.....he wants desperately to come indoors and has his
little body pressed up against it. I have brought him in a few times,
and put him in the spare bedroom, which has food, water, kitty-
litter and a bed for him. He doesn't want to stay in the room. He cries loudly and
throws himself against the door. He is fine when I put my other cats
in a separate room and give him the run of the house. I have a bed
made up for him on my deck, but it's getting really cold in the nights,
with frosty mornings....and his bed is usually cold and damp by morning.
I don't want to confine my other two cats to one room, especially when
I have had one of them for three years and he is not used to being
in a room behind a closed door. This new little stray is really making me
feel guilty. Do I bring him in and let him cry and throw himself against
the door all night......or do I confine my other two cats to the room and let
him roam the house ? I don't want them all to be "together" until I have this
new cat vet checked. What would you do ?
Thanks for any advice
Valerie
