I've been feeding some neighborhood cats as long as I've lived in this apartment (about a year). The one that shows up everyday is a sweet striped male cat, who actually looks like a male version of my female inside cat :) He's very affectionate and somewhat skittish, probably because he has street smarts.

Tonight I decided to see what would happen if my female kitty saw the male cat face to face. One would run up to the other, then back off, then switch. It was the most adorable thing.
I really would like to let this cat come inside, but of course I'd give the appropriate shots and get him checked out at the vet first. Is this a good idea, or will he not enjoy it? Could I see if my female cat minds first then if not, find a good home for him?

Thanks!
We brought in two of the local strays (both injured) and they adapted to indoor life just fine. The perpetually full food bowl was one of the things that won them over. Safe sleeping areas were a big second.
It depends on what you intend on having him as, a house cat or an everything cat. If you intend on having him as an everything cat, he will most likely enjoy it. He would have a definite place to sleep and know where he can get food from. You can also enjoy his company. Although, he would not be suited as an indoor cat. He would whine and yell while at a window or door, wanting to go outside. If you take him in, don't try to take his outdoor freedoms away. Mystical Politics: 06/01/2007 - 07/01/2007::
Israeli street that Ive spoken to thinks that theres a war coming. On the other hand, when I was in Israel I can hear the sound of someone inexpertly practicing a piano.

Well; you can certainly try. It looks as if he already trusts you a little.
Try putting your cat in another room and setting the wild cat's food just inside the door. If he comes in just let him finish and leave. DO NOT get between him and the door or he may never come back. Over time keep moving the dish further inside and see what happens. Then start closing the door as he feeds but if he heads for the door let him out fast. Eventually he may accept staying inside for longer periods. Then you can start letting your cat out.
I've heard of people tricking these cats indoors but that never seems to work very well. It's all about the trust.
One a cat is used to freedom it is hard to contain him inside an apartment. If you're planning on letting him out once in a while after he's domesticated then it may work.
I think you could domesticate him. We domesticated some street cats a little bit ago and they were very good indoor cats. If you want him to just be an indoor cat though he may try to get out more than your indoor cat because that is what he is used to. I think he would be happy to have a home.
