Caporegime
Before I went out last night I was in my room and when I did go out I left my big window open, I generally do this all the time to keep the room cool.
Now, I get a text from my sister saying "err....theres a cat in the house, we've put it outside 3 times but keeps coming in through your window"
And then when I got up this morning she rang me to say that after putting the cat out for the 4th time and shutting the window when she opened the front door to go to work the cat came in the house.
She disappeared for pretty much the whole day after that but now shes back
She has no collar, is very friendly, doesn't mind being picked up/handled. Has a very soft coat, can tell she's usually well looked after
Anyway, we've fed her (not sure if this was the wrong thing to do), and as we are sure she'll be around in the morning sister is going to take her to be scanned to see if shes got a microchip or something to try and contact the original owner.
Couple of things:
Do cats normally do this? Just turn up at other peoples homes?
If she has no chip and nobody claims her can we keep her?
If we keep her is it likely she'll sod off never to be seen again after a while?
Cheers
Oh and obligatory pics, excuse the rubbish eyephone quality - camera was upstairs - Tis grey with white toes and grey/yellow eyes
