So there's a new kitty in town. He's been hanging around my back porch for a couple of weeks and I've been giving him handouts. He's a Siamese, and he's very interested in the house and in my cats -- always looking in the window and being social. However, he's very skittish and runs away when I open the door. Am I right in thinking that he's probably someone's pet because he's Siamese? It seems like there wouldn't be that many feral Siamese? He looks to be the real deal, blue crossed eyes and all.
I'm planning on borrowing a trap and catching him, sometime in the next few days, and taking him in to see if he has a chip. He has no collar and I don't think he's fixed. The question then becomes, what do I do if he's not chipped? I have three kitties and don't really want a fourth. Would it be wrong for me to just get him snipped and let him be a back yard cat? I prefer to keep my kitties inside, but based on the way he's acting it would be hard to socialize him. I mean, he's been around two weeks, and he still runs away when I open the back door, even though by now he must know I'm bringing him food.
Thoughts?
