[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah: don't.

You have a responsibility to protect the cats you already own. Until/unless this feral becomes manageable, it stays feral. Locking a feral with the temperament you describe in a bathroom is cruel, and likely to stress both the feral and your pre-existing cats, who will hear the yeowling and crying and trying to escape.

Pets getting added to a household with existing pets need to be super friendly, easy going, and easy to wrangle, otherwise, you're just inviting trouble. Don't do that to the cats you already have, especially when you have FIV to factor into the mix. That's irresponsible af.[/quote]

Hmm maybe it sounds worse than it is! He was in for 5 hours yesterday and swatted at my female cat once when she came up from behind. He is deaf I think. Otherwise they ignore each other. They have know each other for about a year (my cats and the feral).

Feral does let me pet him, just haven't had much success picking him up. He has no teeth and hasnt ever scratched me just gets scared. I dont know he is not fully feral. I mean he follows my kids around the house.

I did just buy a cat house but it is not here yet and I felt horrible kicking him out last night after he spent all evening inside. He sat on some side on the glass door and my cats on the other both of them pawing the glass.

I did make a vet appt for him for next week. He hasn't been in about a year.[/quote]
