There is a stray/semi-feral (I'm not sure) who has lived around my apartment for 3 years (according to others). I just moved here in August and at first he wouldn't let me touch him, but gradually he's let me pet him and scratch him and even hold him twice. For the past week, he's jumped into my lap while I was in a chair outside and after he got comfortable he fell asleep there. He's the sweetest thing and I feed him daily and pet him daily several times. He is very fond of me and vice versa. My first step would be taking him to the vet, of course, but I'd really like to adopt him. The only problems are 1) I have a very spoiled indoor cat named Fancy (she) that I've had for almost 2 years and she's seen Shadow (stray) through screen door a few times and just looked at him (swatted at him on 5th time of contact through screen door) and then she's been mad at me after she smells him on me. I am afraid they won't get along and my cat will hate me. Has anyone ever been in this situation?
