We know nothing about cats, dogs yes. My mom had run a beagle rescue for over 10 years. So what happens when you become attached to the older neighborhood stray cat that you have been leaving food out for the past 6 months? The weather forecast predicted below freezing temperatures for the night and I could not stand the thought of this tiny, older, severely matted, amber eyed cat seeking refuge in the soaking moldy leaves. Yes, she was very skittish, very afraid of human contact but something needed to be done because I feared she would not bode well into the night. Add to the fact that she was of lately looking weaker, and shivering as she ate her food.
Well tonight we took the plunge, the chance to see if this little creature could be caught. My father was able to catch her and she is now in an overly large wire crate with plenty of blankets, food and water for the night. She seems a bit upset at her circumstances but I am going to assume that she sees the outside as her home and doesn't know quite what to make of the indoor world. Still her unease upsets me a bit as I don't understand the mind of a cat as well as a dog. But she is well worth it and I look forward to seeing if she can accustom to being an indoor cat.
Here is a photo of her before she was caught
Here is a photo of her now snuggled in warm blankets
