Here's my story. About four years ago, my mother and I would feed the cats we saw starving outdoors. We had noticed there were quite a few in our area. One day, three cats started
showing up in our yard (two females and one male). There were two tabbies and a siamese that would hang out together. My mother thought the siamese was beautiful. She wanted her so bad, that we decided to trap them in the house. At first they freaked out, but after a month they calmed down. Several weeks later, the females gave birth. After 8 weeks, we gave about 1/2 the kittens away. Since the adult cats had adjusted to our home, my mother decided to send them to the humane society. I wanted to keep them, but we couldn't since it was difficult to control them, and we had no place to keep them when we were getting the house tinted. Besides, the kittens were fixed, and showed no signs of any diseases. Which likely means that the parents were okay as well. One of my kittens, who's now 3 1/2, is very restless. Even though he was raised indoors, he cries a lot and climbs the screens of the picture window. Sometimes I find him sitting in the doorway, just sitting there as if he wanted to get out. Do the offspring of feral cats want to live outside, or is my cat just curious? He's very friendly and affectionate, and likes to climb on the bed next to me at night. I'm wondering if he's just bored, or if he really wants to get out. I don't want to let him out, because I lost too many cats as a child to car accidents. The cat was born and raised indoors.
