We have had a stray hanging around our yard for about 4 mo. now I assumed it was a neighbors cat until I walked down one
of my paths and saw it sleeping there, apparently this cat sleeps all day and hunts at nite, I usually see it around 6:00 pm, sometimes she would come near my
garden shed, I put some bird seed on the ground for the the birds and also put down some ground up dogfood for the birds, i noticed she was eating the dogfood.
I have seen her eating a bird also, I think she has been a stray since a kitten. We usually leave out some bread etc for the Doves in the front yard, but the
cat will come and eat some of that.
So I went out and bought a bag of cat food and a few cans of it, she finally came up on the porch to eat it, I also gave her some skim milk which she seemed to
love.
I don't think she wants anything to do with people, if she is eating on the porch and I;d go to open the door she runs off. Tonite I was watching her eat,
she'd look at me and continue to eat, but don't want human contact.
So do you think this cat will come around? I know its an outdoor cat, probably has no shots, and I think she has a limp.
Is the skim milk OK? that seemed to entice her to the porch.
What if I put some Meloxicam in the food for her limp? I can't get close to her to even look at her, clearly she is no ones pet, I'll continue to feed
her, I just wish she'd trust me, I have always fancied dogs, but I feel so sorry for this cat. She must hunt for food all nite, who knows? I don't know
what outdoor cats do.
Its raining now and I'd bet she's out on the porch, any help appreciated. Thanks
