feral or stray
I’ve recently had a cat in my apartment complex start following me around. I’ve feed them a few times but got a warning from my apartment to stop. It does say in my lease (Nashville TN) to not feed strays or wild animals which I was unaware of. I haven’t fed them since and they still follow me.
I’ve never taken in a stray before so it’s all new to me. My boyfriend has experience with this back in vietnam, but this cat is very timid, mainly follows me, has an ear tip (TNR), and meows at us. I see a lot of mixed things when talking about strays vs feral cats and wonder if it’s best to just leave them be. I’ve already looked into the pinned highlights and would still just like some input. We left my apartment door open once to see if they would come in and they did. They looked around a bit from the entryway and then left. I guess I’d just like input from others on what they think we should do.
