  • This is Todd. He’s our porch kitty. He’s not our cat, but we know where he lives, and we let him come inside for food, water, and a place to nap.

    You don’t “lure in” porch kitties. They either feel comfortable at your house or they don’t.

    I’m sure you want what’s best for the little guy, but if he doesn’t want to have anything to do with you, it’s best to just leave it at that.

    You can leave a little bit of food and water out for him so you at least know that he has access to some when he needs it, but don’t try to engage with him too much. When you try to pick him up, it scares him and teaches him not to let you get near him again. If he starts to feel safe around you, he’ll come closer, if not, he won’t. Some outside cats are just completely feral and will never be comfortable around people, you can’t change that.
