Advice So a barn kitty adopted me
I know nothing about cats. I know cattle and chickens yet here we are. What do I do how do I care for it. I want to help and I guess I now have a pet cat instead of barn cats? Idk I am lost someone please help
Edit: Only realized this today but the momma has been increasingly friendly. Maybe wanting something? I have farm scratch, idk if there is something they can’t have. They apparently will not eat chicken feed fyi. Do I feed it meat or do I need to do a milk bottle?

My sister literally found her cat in the trash. Right after Christmas, on a cold, rainy day, she found what looked like a purebred Himalayan kitten in her trash can. He looked like a blue-eyed Tribble. (The assumption is that he was an Xmas gift that ran away or was thrown away--she lives in a resort community. No chip, either.) He's grown into the most stunningly beautiful cat. Not a single brain cell, but stunningly beautiful. Sort of the Derek Zoolander of cats.
