You can just lure them inside with wet food!

We saw this absolutely SCRUNGLY little thing with a paw on our back door, but she bolted when she saw us. I lured her out of hiding with some wet food and a bowl, giving her small amounts at a time and gradually moving it closer to our back porch. She was entirely too young and hungry to be outside (she ate 2 whole cans of wet food at once. Even our fattest of cats are satisfied with one), so we made a plan to trap her. The trap turned out to not be necessary as she got bold after a week and let me sit with her and even pet her a bit! She did get startled and slash me up a little bit (rabies shots are ASS) but she is a sweetheart. Since she kept coming to the door we decided to quarantine our other cats and open it and lure her in with food. It eventually worked and we have her quarantined in the bathroom for now. Sadly we already have 5 cats and their politics are already complicated enough, but we found her a forever home with someone who will spoil her rotten.

      As she has gotten more comfortable, she will SCREM for attention. Also your cat kind of looks like my bitch kitty! Same judgemental face.

        Yeah, she wanted food (way too early). I didn’t respond to her screaming, so she thought: maybe I will get his attention when I lay down right in front of his mouse and keyboard, as that dumb hooman only has his attention there.

        “So you see me now, hooman? I REQUIRE FOOD! OBEY ME SLAVE!”…

        “Pleeeeeaaase? Look at how sweat I am” (puss in boots eyes and purring)

        “NOOOOOOW”

        “I’m not angry, I’m just deeply disappointed.”

        And this in loops, while constantly pushing her ass in my face and pressing completely newly discovered key combination shortcuts even computer scientists never heard of. (unable to undo)
