Cats are great at gradually and sometimes not so gradually, working their way into houses, especially if there are women or children in the house for them to work on. Keith

Skinny bag of bones. Never wanted another one but ended up with him. Took probably a month to get him to let me hand him food. Now he's part of the house and the dog tolerates him Lol

Then without anything changing they lay their ears back, bite you, dig their claws into your lap, and take off. Feral cats may not be the best pet for kids. Anything the governments gives you they must first take away from someone else.
