Stray catmy daughter fed it once and now it thinks it has found a home We cant bring it innow what2007-11-25 12:26:02

Female cat.has all her claws.no collar. She has been around the neighborhood for weeks. I am allergic to cats (and we just bought our kids pet gerbils) so I won't bring her in the house. I don't mind if she is around outside the house, but I don't want her to become dependent on us. If I stop my daughter from feeding her, will the cat move on or do I have to chase her away? I know the sounds mean.(I feel sick just writing this) but I am truly trying to do what is best. Any suggestions other that "Bring her in the house and deal with the allergy" are welcome.

I love cats! If the weather is is good, like never really cold where you live it would be fine as a outdoor cat, as long as you keep feeding and providing her with water. There are a lot of strays out there and the cat population is way to high. She will keep on beading since she is not fixed so this will add to the the problem of overpopulation. The best thing to do which is humane is to bring her to the humane society where they will have her spayed given shots and then put her up for adoption. That way she has a better chance of finding a good home. Don't just stop feeding her that would be cruel. Look in your yellow pages for a Humane Society nearest you. You may have to travel a bit but it would be worth it so you wont have to feel "SICK" ! You are a good person by being concerned about the cat

We ahd the same thing happen but our cat that showed up had kittens. I felt horrible not to feed her with kittens so I fed her and the kittens for a while.. The kittens have now all left but she still shows up.. we have not given her any cat food in a week and she still hangs around.. I really do not know how to make her go away..

My family just went through something similar. Only there was a mother cat and her five kittens, who looked really unhealthy. But it turned out our they were our neighbors and they didn't feed them or let them inside so my mother went over to them and told them to look after their own cats. They called Animal Control and they took them away. It's a terrible situation, I feel so bad for the cats, they didn't do anything.
