That used to happen to us. The street cat would mark our door constantly, but he has done worse! He once got into the house and marked our curtains, and a year ago, he barged into the house and attacked one of our docile house cats. That was an expensive vet visit. We've fed him regularly for years now, but still can't trust the little shit to this day.

We’ve fed him regularly for years now

you incentivize his return. apparently the vet visit didn't deter you?

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago

We like him around and we're not going to stop feeding him and abandon him over a couple of incidences. He does learn, gets along better now and is the father of our youngest so we'd rather have stricter rules than be cruel. It's also not just my decision.

You fed the outdoor cat? Why?

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Because they're starving and people are cruel. The condition is they need to get neutered, wich is free where I live, so we do it. Also, it wasn't my decision.

Oh my. So I was confused and hadn't realised "outdoor" could also mean "feral".

Ohh, yes, my mistake! They're stray cats. We have our own house cats but those never leave the house.
