about a month and a half ago, a stray cat started coming around our house. The first couple times we tried to get her to come closer to us, however she was too timid. I jokingly said to Desiree, "If she plays, she stays." This was only a forecast as she did end up coming clsoer and closer to us. Desiree ended up feeding her initial as we found out that she may have been a neighbor's cat. We knew that she was at one point an indoor cat as she was declawed. we let her sleep in the garage with garage door slightly cracked for her to be able to go outside as she pleased.
After contacting neighbors on facebook, we found out that it actually was not a neighbor and that somebody probably abandonded her. After feeding her for a few days, this cat would leave, even if you tried. She knew where the food was, and I was started to get attached. Desiree as well. I ended up taking her to the vet and got some flea medication and took her inside the house for the first night of her new life. I showered and washed her which was not a pleasent experience for her. We were concerned about her first night indoors as there is always uncertainty if a cat will take to a litter box. Fortunately for us, she took to it immediately. That's a relief.
Its now nearly 2 months and we love kitty. She is beautiful, loving, and healthy and takes well to strangers with the few family gatherings we have had at the house. we're blessed with having such a great addition- especially since I've always been a dog guy
