<PERSON> i adopt him
Ive talked about this before on this sub reddit, i have been feeding a stray cat for about 4 months . He isnt exactly a stray . Im told that a family has been keeping him since he was young hes not more than 1.5 years old now (probably) So they're kind of his family But when i first saw him he was very skinny Thats the reason i started feeding him . He would come twice a day and id feed him he would stay for an hour or more then go back probably to them im not sure So as hes not completely stray but not completely domesticated. 176
And i was fine with that , he would come almost daily id feed him then wed play i slowly gained his trust and then he would leave but the the part im not fine with is that because he isn't completely a stray he doesn't know how to avoid ather feral cats and dogs and protect himself and as he isn't fully domesticated he wanders at middle of night at other people's houses where he encounters other cat's and often i have seen him outside .. at night! Been chased by dogs and because he's an idiot who doesn't understand any of this in just only 4 months i have known him he's gotten hurt 5 different times and he gets no proffesional medical care from those people all ive seen them do is wrap a peice od cloth surend his paw and then let him out roaming all above while he is still limping So yeah i definitely want to keep him but he just doesn't get that i have tried on multiple occasions to keep him i get him in my room give him food and then close the gate to stairs to keep him from leaving (at night ) but he just keeps scratching the door wanting to leave he runs in the room doesn't sit calmly and i want him to leave but i know he'll get in trouble at this time at night so i try to keep him in but he just gives me the sad looks so i just try to hold on as long as i can and then i let him leave I know well enough that those people are not at all responsible towards him as they should be even if they seem to like him and want him around . I have read about multiple adoption cases where cats react in the same way running trying to escape but when given time they adjust in about w month or so and he isnt even that old i just want him to stay safe and letting him leave has proven against it . Every time he misses his daily visits i get super freaked out So should i try to keep him in or let him leave when he wants to 210
