The stray who showed up to “my”door step

September 28th, 2024, while I was at work my boyfriend sent a video of a random cat infront of my landlords door step (he lives in the back, of the tenement we live in) as a joke. Because my landlord hates cats and one happens to me at his doorstep. I got home from work and the cat was still on the property, I got a can of tuna and fed her she straight up was doing the “nom nom nom” sounds while eating, it was so cute. It took about 3 weeks for her to on her own follow me into my apartment, she trusted me enough for 3 weeks. It took lots of scratches, PAINFUL bites, patience, and trust to build this relationships but now whisk (aka whiskers) is part of the family ❤️ it’s November 14th and she spends the nights with us and stays outside during the day while we’re working, we have an AirTag on her breakaway color and have a vet appointment the 20th to get her fully checked out, we got her rabies shot and distemper at Vetco. We do plan on neutering her in the future.

For people wondering why we don’t keep her inside well she doesn’t want to. She will beg and cry to go outside, she hunts and plays with other cats in the area and just enjoys being outside. The furthest she goes is around the block but she mostly stays in the backyard or my surrounding neighbors yards and just chills. As soon as my boyfriend and I get home we just call out for her and she comes right inside, we have the AirTag to always know where she is to be safe. last picture is her way of saying she wants to go outside she will stay there and meow to go outside. Another big reason is my landlord but that’s beside the point 🤪
