I swear, I must have "sucker" written on my forehead.
Some of you may recall that 4 years ago, I trapped a feral kitten that I was feeding and turned him into a house cat. He was completely untouchable, and I had to cage train him for nearly six months. I was about ready to pull my hair out and swore "never again".
Well, here we are, 4 years later and I'm about to do it again. I've been feeding a stray for about 6 months now. When he first started hanging around, he was super skinny and very skittish. Now, he's fattened up nicely (thanks to 2 square meals a day) and will come within about 2 feet of me. He won't let me touch him, but doesn't run away.
I guess as soon as I named him, I knew one day I'd bring him in. I call him Moo because I think he looks like a little cow.
I already have the humane trap ready, and hope to get him this weekend. My vet already knows about my plan, and will let me bring him in without an appointment. I want to get him neutered, de-flead, de-wormed, etc. before I bring him in the house and introduce him to Blackie and Sunny Doodle.
Please tell me I'm not crazy!!
