Well, you have a few things to consider, Gypsy. First, given that you'll be breaking a rule by having a pet, it may be easiest for you to turn this kitty into an indoor cat. Now, this is no simple task with a cat who is used to being outdoors, but it does make things easier in terms of hiding your new roommate. If you do that, are you ready to take on the chore of keeping up with a litterbox? If you buy good cat litter, and keep up with it on a daily basis, it's not that bad.Gypsybyrd said:Soliciting advice ...
There is a cat that hangs around where I live ... it is very friendly and obviously starved for attention. Also, it seems to be hungry - especially at 2 in the morning when it gets VERY loud. I'm not supposed to have pets but I'm thinking about breaking the rules (as I've already broken other rules) and taking the cat in. I'm about 80% sure somebody moved & left the cat behind (evil thing to do). It's been showing up for about a month now.
What should I be wary of if I pursue this? I figure I'll have to take it to the vet for a check up ... but I have never had a pet (my folks have though) of my own before ...
Thanks!

Yes, a checkup at the vet is an absolute must. Kitty needs to be checked for parasites, and needs shots for rabies, distemper, and I highly recommend vaccinating against feline leukemia. You will also need to find out if he or she needs to be neutered or spayed - something else that I highly recommend.
Good cat food is a necessity. There's a lot of different opinions out there, but I tend use Science Diet as their regular dry food, and they get "wet" food - canned - once or twice a week as a special treat.
All of that being said, you will never, ever find a more wonderful pet than a good cat. I have five of them - well, *we* have five. Two of our cats would best be described as *hers,* two of them as *mine,* and the fifth, well, he's his own spirit, LOL... The two who have chosen to "worship" me, so to speak, are two of my very best friends in the world. They know when I'm upset, and they immediately come to comfort me. They both "talk" to me constantly. I love them both dearly...
Kudos to you, Gypsy, for considering adopting this little creature. I'm going to say that I think you should do just that. Once you have fully bonded with this animal, you will never have a more loyal friend. Cats are wonderful creatures. Anything I can do to help, let me know. I'm no "expert," but I have lived with at least one or two cats for almost my entire life. There's nothing, IMHO, that quite compares to a good relationship with a cat...![]()

Btw ... been to the Laughter thread lately? There was another post there I figured you'd rip off & post over here ... something along the lines of Cat's Goals ... hehehe

*checking on the pics* hi!Heh...Gypsybyrd said:Well ... the taking in of the cat goes well so far. I'm never met a more affectionate cat ... but that might just be because I provide food & water
Everyday she stays inside longer & longer ... the problem is ... and it's a doozy because I'm breaking rules by having her ... she's LOUD when she wants in ... & it echoes up & down the hallway. She is also very persistent when she wants out ... and I don't think it wise to ignore her b/c she won't even acknowledge the litter box.
I can, however, leave food out on a counter and she doesn't go near it ... won't jump to get to it ... good thing for the salmon I had sitting out ...
Anyway ... it's a good match if I could just get her to be quiet & stay in all night. I'm working on that.
