A friend of mine recently became pregnant and decided she couldn't keep her cat any more. 🙄
Anyway, I am NOT a cat person at all, but have spent a bit of time at this friend's house and me and my son have got to know this cat. She is a lovely little thing and my son adores her (the feeling is mutual!)
I visited my friend yesterday and she said she was dropping the cat at an animal sanctuary this weekend and my son was devasated so I ended up bringing the cat home with me.
She seems to have settled in really well, she is sleeping and eating and using the litter trays I have put out. She gets on our laps and purrs etc so she seems happy so far.
So, can any experienced cat owners help me with a few questions ?
How long should I keep her in? She normally goes out but I'm concerned she'll go back to her old house as we are only half a mile apart.
Last night she slept on my son's bed with him. Is this OK? Is there any reason why I shouldn't allow this?
I'm thinking of getting a cat flap put in but I heard that other cats can come in and bully the cat, steal her food etc?
Any other tips on how to make her feel at home? She must be confused about the move.
Thank you!
