I need your opinion...

I agree.... I was going to say BEFORE I read what they wrote that if you let Fluffy inside and the Mama saw she was comfortable and happy being there, that she may not be so afraid and give it a try. TUNA? Yea, just inside the door where she could get a good whif of it and have the safelty net of the door open so if she gets spooked she could run back outside. (to start with)

Donna, before you consider trying to take them in, will you be sure you are allowed to keep them where you live?

When we first got Fister up here, we were in the same dilemma, about whether to "steal" him from his mom. Well, at least she had other company in the yard.

We did it the way Laura's Babies describes, by enticing him up the staircase with food, and then into the kitchen - further and further, until one day he wanted to go all the way in to the bedroom. However, if the door was closed, he was crying to get out, and he didn't want to stay for long to begin with, but after a few months he stayed the night.

As you know, now he rules the place and is hardly never out!!

I also have to consider my roommate. He likes my cats. But I'm not sure how he'd react if he saw the girls in the apt. Besides, I don't want to step on Joe and Toni's toes, since they've been feeding the girls LONG before I got there.
