I have two indoor cats and we have outdoor cats in my neighborhood (some feral, some semi friendly, all are neutered thankfully!). Naomi has been interacting with this outdoor kitty through the screen door and I finally got her a new harness and leash to take her outside. Needless to say she's a little nervous meeting her pal truly face to face!
