[QUOTE="donna723, post: 34522, member: 1883"] These aren't really "wild" cats. For at least a year after I moved into this house there were two little gray striped cats that were always playing in my yard. I would see them out in the yard in the evenings chasing lightning bugs. I never fed them. Then the winter before last when it was [i]really[/i] cold they started sitting on my window AC unit and staring in at me - really pitiful. I felt sorry for them and started feeding them. Then last spring, I looked out one day and there were four tiny kittens on my porch trying to chew the dry cat food. When they got older, one by one they wandered off and these two were the only ones left, two of the kittens. So they were born here under my house and I've always fed them. If I were patient enough and had enough time, I probably could have gotten them used to being handled, if I had started when they were little. Actually, my dog, Ragan, considers them to be "hers". She worries about them when they're not around and comes to get me to feed them if she thinks I'm taking my time too much. Then I have to leave the back door open so she can look out the glass storm door and watch them eat! I would miss them if they were gone. And this was my fourth winter in this house and the very first one where there were no mice in the house! [img]:grin:[/img] [/QUOTE]
