Dagu has been roaming on the street for many years. More than 9 years I guess. He was a young and active cat then. Strong, energise and carrying a fat belly and chasing every cats away from his territory! After years of feeding him, he has trimmed down. But remain strong although he no longer can jump and run as high and as fast as he was.
More than a month ago, I found him sleeping a lot. He curled himself sleeping on a cold ground. I couldn’t bear looking at him and he is our new family member 2 weeks ago.
Years of roaming, I thought he would be hard to train. Maybe he would spray around or fight with the rest. On his first night, true indeed, he didn’t know how to use the litter box, so he pee in the small carton box which was prepared for him to sleep on. In order to make sure he knows where was the right place to pee, I poured his urine into the litter box. A clever boy! He knows where to relieve himself and it was never an issue. To my surprise, he didn’t fight with others! He rest, sleeps and eats. Sometimes explore a little.
He was caged only for 2 days and he was all familiar with the environment. He is still able to go high but in a slow and careful motion. I just fed him a sheba pouch. He finished everything. Different brands of kibbles are around 24/7.
I believe he is more than 15 years old. I hope he has a comfortable life at home from now on.
