Also please tell “Gravy” that this situation (if the cat is, in fact, not domestic) is NOT good for the cat either. No matter how happy Reginald may seem, he is not in his natural environment, an environment that would be best for him. And if he is a puma or some other kind of wild cat, his diet is much different from a domestic cat. Eventually he will get sick from not getting the proper nutrition. And he will become more and more unhappy and unsettled as he grows older.

You really, really CANNOT fool Mother Nature. I tried to do that by adopting a feral kitten from a very old and established colony. She was okay, albeit aggressive and protective of me, in the beginning. However, at the age of six she had a psychotic break and became WILDLY aggressive and had to be put down. We do not know what caused the snap, but the vet believes that we underestimated her environmental needs as a “not-so domestic” cat.

So maybe if Gravy brings this information to his sister, she will be more sympathetic. The sister may feel good about “saving” the cat. But these feelings will soon disappear if any kind of harm comes to it.
