Have an outdoor feline friend that wanders through your yard from time to time? Should you try and befriend it? Or is it best to leave the cat alone?

Do you know if the cat has an owner? If he does, there’s nothing wrong with trying to pet him or saying hello when he wanders by. If he’s friendly, you can pet him as he walks through your yard. You can even give him a treat every now and then!

If the cat is a stray, you may want to keep your distance. If you suspect that the cat doesn’t have a home, you can set out a little food for him to eat every once in a while. If he’s a nuisance, you may have to call animal control.

If you decide to bring a stray in, make sure that you schedule an appointment with a registered pet clinic Richardson, TX before you bring him inside.
