We got our cat, Poppy, from the rescue centre a year and a half ago. She was a very scared and nervous cat and it took months for her to learn to trust us.
Due to her nature she has become a house cat.
last week we bought a baby gate for the back door so we could let some air in without either the baby or the cat escaping. Tonight she has jumped the gate and is hiding in the garden. She is refusing to come in and runs off if we go near. DH is currently in the garden, with a torch and a laser pen, trying to tempt her in. - She always follows the laser pen!
Since she is a house cat the vet advised us not to bother with worming tablets or flea treatment. I have kept her flea treatment up to date though, just in case, but her worming treatment isn't.
Now for the advice I need:
How do I get her in? (Can't leave door open)
Do I need to give her a worming tablet?
Will she be able to fend for herself???
I'm not really an animal person. I agreed to get Poppy because DH loves cats. In a funny way though I have become to love her and don't want her to be hurt!
Sorry if post rambling, I've had some wine!
