A Little cat showed up on our back porch. [View all]

Sweet at can be. Definitely not a feral but no colar ir markings. We think she was abandoned. She went up to me straight away to get rubs. We have another cat so until we can get her to the vet checked up we have been feeding her on the back porch and I bought one of these stray cat shelters.

She took to it immediately. We are getting her used to the house, letting her walk into the kitchen and take nap on the armchair there. I got a cat box and litter.

We decided that it's getting cold so we we let her sleep inside at night until we can get her checked at the vet this Friday.

Our cat strangely, is not upset. They are softly meowing at each other accross the french doors. I think it will be easy to get them used to each other.

At first my wife was reluctant to adopt another cat but I had a plan. She sat in the kitchen and I got the kitten in. That cat went straight up to her, curled up on her lap and started purring. That did it.

Beautiful tortoiseshell cat.

UPDATE : got her to vet today 11/12 and she is a healthy 1 yr old. Tested negative to feline leukemia. We got her shots and she is back home sleeping.
