I started feeding this beautiful Calico cat outside my back door, but she would only eat after I closed the door. This went on for many months until one day, two coyotes had her cornered up a tree. I went out with a baseball bat and scared them away.
The next meal, she didn't run and actually let me pet her! Then she licked my hand! She slowly started coming inside but always with the door open.
Five years later, she is sleeping on my bed.
She didn't know how to live in a home, but my Maine Coon showed her the ropes: how to use the litter box, how to ask for treats, how to play with toys. Now, they both sleep on my bed with me.
