I am home most of the day so if it rains sometimes he will ask to come in, I call him a stray cat dabbling with becoming a house cat. Because he purrs and kneads when ever I pet him. The issue's are he refuses to use a Litter box, but will ask to go outside when he needs to go potty. I know that he still likes to hunt because I have seen him catch local lizards and his the amount of food he eats varies depending on whether he has made a kill. right now he is eating about 1/3 -1/2 cup of food a day. Since he isn't loosing weight I know he is getting his food somewhere. I live in an apartment so there is a lot of shade I have put out rugs around where He likes to stand to tell me he is ready to come in so hopefully his feet will not get burned. I just needed ideas.Stephanie H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00218014626011247227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012843056164204011.post-72099422531104893462012-06-29T22:01:20.962-04:002012-06-29T22:01:20.962-04:00Does he let you touch him?

Also make sure he's got plenty of shade to lay in and I was told to freeze his water overnight, then place it outside..and the bowl should be a narrow bowl to reduce evaporation. Hope that helps. <br /><br />My indoor cats are actually looking for the wet towel LOL But I do squirt them with the water bottle every once in a while...probably shouldn't do that since it's used for when their bad.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881684286920391511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012843056164204011.post-52751696902643460582012-06-29T20:11:45.396-04:002012-06-29T20:11:45.396-04:00Thanks for sharing this I have a stray that I have...Thanks for sharing this I have a stray that I have been taking care of since Feb. He refuses to stay in the house especially during the day. I always have Water out for him but I rarely see him at the bowel. It is over 100 outside now. He does come in for 15-20 mins. Do you have any suggestions? I have tried keeping him in the house but he just goes crazy.Stephanie H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00218014626011247227noreply@blogger.com
