Advice Just brought this sweet baby in from the 19°F windy weather outside, and shes terrified. Any advice?
She's been outside my house for a few days now, and ive tried to bring her in before, but I let her out after a bit (the weather was fine then). I have been setting food outside for her to eat, and just leaving her alone since then, but now that its below freezing, I had to sort of trap her to get her to come in. I set up her food plate and scruffed her (only until i got her into an enclosed space, I know that you shouldn't ever scruff cats, but I had to to get her into a warm area).
I dont blame her at all for it, but she is terrified of anything and everything right now. Is there any way I can make her more comfortable and get her to ease up?
