...while setting up for the garage sale..I remembered a box at the back of the garage, so I went back and moved a few things and reached to get it...looked in a in and a gray cat looked at me then tore out of the garage.....LOL...startled the bee jabbers out of me.....LOL

Was it a pregnant female?  If so, feed it and care for it.  If not, run it off.

What are bee jabbers?  I think I used to have one...but I don't remember what it looked like...

We never run 'em off....if they need a safe haven for a spell.....they can hunker here.....period.

We have several that hang around because Karen puts food out on the patio for them.  The males grow up and wander off to find their own territory and the females hang around and have babies.  They generally only last about two years and then disappear. I think cars or coyotes get usually get them.

Same here. The latest one to show up turned into a great mouser. He lives in the chicken barn and considers himself the keeper of the birds. If a cat wanders too far into an open field here they can get caught by a coyote or bobcat before being able to reach cover.

I've been leaving food and fresh water out for 'her' every night....added some fluffed old pieces of blanket in the box she's been using to sleep on too.....she's eating the food and has been using the box.... ....now we'll see how long it takes her to trust us.....

[Mugwump]

....I just put more food out for her for to eat later on....and sprinkled some cat nip in her sleeping box  .....Zoey will like that...

[Mugwump]

..yup, I can see she's been sleeping on the 'bedding' that I put in there...........and still scarfing down the food too.....

[wiggs]

"Zoey?"  You named it?  Oh Boy, now I know it isn`t going anywhere.

..... ......but she's a pretty thing.......

Let her see you put the food down if you can.  If she sees you are the source of the food she wont run as far and before you know it she will come running when you go out with the food.

...trying to do that....but she's still a bit skittish......soon, I think tho......

Feed her in a carrier so you can take her to the vet to be spayed and health checked.  If that doesn't work buy a haveaheart trap.  The world has no need of more kittens and cats and there are many bad cat viruses around.
