To ask what to do with the cat?

[FleurDelacourr]

There's been a cat yowling outside my front door for a good 10 minutes. It's pissing it down here and the poor thing is probably drenched. Am I okay to let it in until it stops raining/overnight? None of us have ever had a cat, we're not sure what to do with it.

[Telstar99]

Course you can let it in.

But you will NEVER be rid of it.

It will own you forever.......

[Taffeta]

Nawwww let the poor soggy puss in!!

[Rugratwrangler]

it's probably a trap and will be moving in shortly

[HoneyIshrunkthebiscuit]

Let it in!!

[SaucyJack]

Go and see what it wants, yah.

Maybe it's trying to tell you you've left your car headlights on?

[forgottenusername]

let it in, if it's friendly dry it off a bit with an old towel / tea towel, put down a bowl of water and if you've got any spare, some tuna or chicken (in a separate bowl, not in with the water!)

[WiseUpJanetWeiss]

It will definitely move in, steal your heart and cost you £hundreds if not £thousands in vet bills. Guaranteed.

[fenneltea]

Let it in, it's probably lost

[shouldwestayorshouldwego]

Let it in, keep it somewhere enclosed. A box and some tuna. It will love you forever until the next mug comes along .

If you find a vet they can scan it and check for a chip. Most cats now don't wear collars.

[QuestionableMouse]

Please do let the poor thing in. Check Facebook for ' your area' lost and found pets and post a photo on there.

[maddiemookins16mum]

Let it in (be prepared for it to perhaps panic and bolt). If he's willing, give him a drink and see if he's wearing a collar.

[strongasmeringue]

Open the door and see what he does but don't shut him in your house. He probably belongs to someone and they'll be worrying if he doesn't come home.

[FleurDelacourr]

I've let it in, its currently hiding under the kitchen table. I've given it some water and am going to see if it'll let my dry it.

Should I feed it?

Tbh I'd be quite happy if it moved it, DW wouldn't be so pleased

[SchadenfreudePersonified]

Let it in - water, food, cardboard box with a blanket/towel in it if possible.

Call Cats Protection in the morning.

[MissConductUS]

You've been selected. Prepare for a life of feline servitude.

Just kidding, sort of. Let it in. Most cats are nicer than most people.

[SchadenfreudePersonified]

Give it tuna, sardines, ham, scrambled eggs - anything high protein.

[SchadenfreudePersonified]

Cats are nice. It will steal your hearts.

[abbsisspartacus]

Cats usually dry themselves provide something to sit on and heating

[MissConductUS]

Yes, do give it something to eat. The cardboard box and towel is an excellent idea. They instinctively seek that kind of shelter.

[overnightangel]

Glad you've let it in.
Maybe take it to a vets in the morning and see if it's microchipped
It's probably terrified

[ethelfleda]

Yup. Been there... and she even made us feel happy about the arrangement and fall in love with her! She's an evil genius...

[ethelfleda]

Oh and show us a pic of your new pet the poor little moggy

[maddiemookins16mum]

Don't dry it, it will soon dry and warm up itself if it has a dry warm box and towel. Of course if you are keeping it in, it might need the loo at some point too.

[Taffeta]

Yes yes picture!!!!!! Mrow 😺

[FleurDelacourr]

Okay, I won't try and dry him. He's still under the table atm, and we don't have any cardboard boxes, will a plastic one be okay? Is chicken okay to feed him? I've had to shut the door to stop the kitchen being completely soaked, will I be okay to just open the window a bit?
