You can just lure them inside with wet food!

We saw this absolutely SCRUNGLY little thing with a paw on our back door, but she bolted when she saw us. I lured her out of hiding with some wet food and a bowl, giving her small amounts at a time and gradually moving it closer to our back porch. She was entirely too young and hungry to be outside (she ate 2 whole cans of wet food at once. Even our fattest of cats are satisfied with one), so we made a plan to trap her. The trap turned out to not be necessary as she got bold after a week and let me sit with her and even pet her a bit! She did get startled and slash me up a little bit (rabies shots are ASS) but she is a sweetheart. Since she kept coming to the door we decided to quarantine our other cats and open it and lure her in with food. It eventually worked and we have her quarantined in the bathroom for now. Sadly we already have 5 cats and their politics are already complicated enough, but we found her a forever home with someone who will spoil her rotten.
Oh this is a season 3 synopsis, but I can give a bit more history. The 2 calicos lived here, then the 4 foundlings moved in about 2 years ago. We kept them segregated by floors for a few months, then chose ambassador cats. Originally, meatball and nice calico were getting along, then something happened and they HATED each other. Stupid cat became the next ambassador. She doesn't pick up social cues and got hissed at a lot, but they quickly realized she was dumb and harmless so she was accepted pretty quickly. The 2 floofs stayed in the basement. Bitch calico took exception to this and regularly went down to terrorize them and got promptly BTFOd by regal floof, who is a very patient cat but can lay down the fucking law. Meatball occasionally bullies nice calico but bitch calico immediately runs to protect her adopted sister. At some point a piss war erupted between bitch calico and meatball. Thankfully the floor was mostly safe but any couch or clothes on or near the floor were ground zero. We rearranged boxes and got an automatic one and tossed a couch and have since been relatively piss free. At some point the floofs moved their home base to the living room and took a mounted box and the back of the couch as their hangouts, but since her sister passed, regal floof migrates between the couch and basement.
Also, I call her bitch cat (daily, to her little bitch face), but she really is a sweetheart when she's comfortable. We almost swear she can understand English. She also plays nurse. If you're sick she will cuddle you all day, and she often recognizes when my girlfriend is about to have a panic attack and relentlessly headbutts her.
This is the best reality show
I feel so invested now ๐ Hope they are all happy and you are able to enjoy your time with them more than they annoy you from time to time. I like them all โ๏ธ
