adopt a cat - we have them three plus two new kittens

It seems that what you have a strays that have decided to move in with you since you feed them. They seem to be quite friendly strays too, not afraid of human contact. Some strays are very scared of humans and can be quite dangerous since they bite or scratch any who try to approach them. We also recently adopted a kitten and he's been living in our home for the past 4 months. I think it's very nice of your family to feed these animals since many people just let strays go hungry or worse kick them out of their house. However, you should also consider your family's safety. It would be best if you could have these cat's checked by a veterinarian since one of them could have rabies. At the very least, try to get them an anti-rabies shot. Most local governments offer this for free every so often. Many cat experts also recommend that you keep cats purely indoors since this would lessen the chance of them getting run over by a car or getting bitten by other animals. Indoor cats also live longer averaging around 12 years while outdoors cats only average 3 years. But some also say that cats are best left to roam freely. You should also consider their diet since human food is not usually part of a cats' regular diet. Many veterinarians say that human food usually contains more sodium that cats require and some of our usual cooking ingredients are bad for cats (such as onions and garlic). However, in the end, it's up to you to decide on what you think is the best way to care for these cats. Good luck! I hope you're able to decide on whether you want to permanently adopt these cats and give them a forever home.

I symathise with you becasue the same thing has happened to me, in my case it is dogs. We have 5, one we adopted as it was in need of a home, two my husband found and two simply arrived. Because they were hungry we fed them and that is an open invitation in dog and cat language to stay. We have two adopted cats as well and the cats come indoors whenever they want but the dogs we keep outside. Each has its own kennel, is vaccinated and neutered. In the case of the dogs I think thay hear barking and come in the hope of food. Cats have a record of moving home if they do not like the one they have, so I guess that is what yours decided to do.

I have been known to swoop in and take a cat away if I don't think they are being properly cared for. That's how I got my totally sweet Daisy!

Generally, cats stray from their homes due to lack of food. If you feed those strays, they'll stay with you. Until, of course, you stop feeding them. We actually have two stray cats that made our home their home also. And the female gave birth two a few kittens, but only two survived. My problem now is that our dog isn't used to having cats around. He's become sort of irritable of late - snapping at the cats when they go near him, barking for long periods of time when he sees the kittens goofing around.

I have always wanted a pet, but my sisters are allergic to fur and ow when I have my own place, my husband isn't too crazy about furry pets. We do have 2 pit bulls in my parents' house but they're not really the ones who come in and out of our house. They have their own house and cage in the storehouse.

Wow. I think those cats love your home so much. :D I think their original bosses don't feed them as much as you do. Well, I think something good will happen to you in the future. Helping animals in need and taking care of them as you own is really great. Good thing that they were able to find someone like you and your family. I have a cat too but she was lost. I hope she had an owner like you right now.
