@davidrevoy May I ask if there are any tricks to get stray cats trust you so much? We try everything with a female one to calm her for sterilising for years. She would fight you even with the best food in your hand. The rescue center tried it with a big trap ... nothing. She was too intelligent.
Great to see yours trusting you!

We have a stray that adopted us and needs to go to the vet. We made him a house in the carrier outside that he sleeps in most nights now. In a bit we will fix the door on and try to close it when he is inside and calm. But I fear he will resent me for it and all the trust will have to be rebuilt 🫣.
@NatureMC I wish I had good tricks; but if I had effective one, Charlotte would trust me after 2 months (and she doesn't let me pet her).
I try to just be around when I feed them, calm, play with a stick or whatever caught their attention. Throw them cat food and see daily how they come closer. Until at one moment, they make the move and come to contact. It's a magic moment.
I try to not "catch them", or enclose them into something or a stressful situation. It requires patience and time.
@davidrevoy This is already a lot of helpful tips!
I'll try it with patience.
At this place I want to thank all for the good tips!
