Briefly, when we moved to this house on a farm 3 years back there was a stray cat. We captured her and a kitten and had her spayed before returning her to the farm. (We started feeding her as soon as we realised she lived there, was starving and permenantly pregnant)
On being freed she kept returning crying for her baby who we had kept as he wasn’t old enough to be done. The vets asked us to return him in a few weeks so instead of re-trapping we decided to keep him.
We felt sorry for her so trapped and got her back in the house. They lived in for 18 months. She became nervously friendly. He was feral.
We left doors and windows open but they stayed in the house.
Until one day she left. Followed a week later by the son.
Having cared for them for so long I missed them and got a kitten (my beautiful little thug Arlo)
Anyway she’s returned. (A few months ago) I feed her at the back door twice a day. She then spends all evening sat at the glass door staring in at us.
We have left it open when the weather was better and she would back off and sit a few foot away, now she comes in but freaks out if we shut the door. Obviously I can’t leave doors wide open now. It’s too cold and until Arlo is done we are keeping him in. They have met several times and tolerate each other. They play through the glass.
I feel awful. It’s heartbreaking seeing her sat in the rain staring in but she is scared of being in especially when the dogs are around.b(she wasn’t bothered by them when she lived inside, they won’t hurt her)
What the hell do I do?!!
